BBC Children in Need appeal takes place every year in November and this year it’s taking place on Friday 16th November. Parcel Pete has travelled up to our Newcastle depot to take part in some charity fundraising. Keep a close eye on the ipostparcels.com Facebook page for the pictures, coming soon!
History of Children in Need:
Since 1980the charity has raised over £600 million to change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.
Pudsey Bear made his television debut in 1985 when Terry Wogan introduced the new, brown cuddly mascot to the audience designed by a BBC graphic designer who named him after the village she was born in.
Pudsey proved very popular and returned as BBC Children in Need's official logo with his design amended to that of a yellow bear with a red spotted bandage.
Appeal Night:
Every year the BBC host a fun filled appeal night with celebrities and local communities all taking part in various activities for the worthy cause. This year Parcel Pete decided to stop off at Newcastle to help with a spot of fundraising whilst on his parcel delivery route. The ipostparcels.com team can’t wait to see what he got up to and will be uploading some pictures very soon!
