LITTLE fundraisers at a Leamington nursery were surprised with a visit from Pudsey.
More than 150 children from Busy Bees Leamington received the visit from BBC Children in Need’s bear to celebrate a fundraising effort built around a shared love of reading.
They raised more than £1,600 for BBC Children in Need through story sessions, sharing books and selling the painted caterpillar canvases they created.
Ellicia Spall, centre director at Busy Bees Leamington, said: “We are incredibly proud of our children, families and team who have come together to support such a worthy cause. Reading truly brings people together – it opens up a world of curiosity and imagination and it was wonderful to combine our passion for storytelling with fundraising that will make a difference to young lives across the UK.
“The excitement on the children’s faces when Pudsey arrived was unforgettable. It was truly a special moment that brought their hard work to life. We are so grateful for all of the incredible support we have received and we couldn’t have done this without the support of our community.”
