It’s Pudsey Bear time of year, a time when the country comes together and go out of their way to raise money for Children in Need. In 2011 over £26 million was raised and that was £8 million more than 2010. The money is granted to organisations supporting disadvantaged children and young people in the UK and in my opinion this is why is has such a huge success as people like to know the money is going to help children and young people up and down Britain.
I don’t think anyone can say the Brits don’t do their bit for charity sending hundreds and thousands of pounds to all kinds of causes at home and abroad but Children in Need is all about looking after our young, the future of our country and teaching our own children to be giving to those less fortunate.
I love Pudsey Bear, last year we celebrated him locally with the other children from preschool, we also made some fabulous and easy Pudsey Bear cupcakes and some cheese straws too perfect for lunch boxes.
