Bear options for children

CITY children will get the chance to create a Pudsey bear ahead of this year’s Children in Need campaign.

Build-A-Bear Workshops at Ocean Terminal and Princes Street are offering customers the chance to design and stuff their very own charity mascot from October 1.

This year, £5 from every sale of Pudsey, and his female counterpart Blush, will go straight to the charity. An extra £1 from the sale of any outfits will also be donated to help fund grants and projects across the UK.
