CLANFIELD children have been taking part in raising money for the annual Children in Need appeal.

Four-year-old Bertie Venn and his sister Jessica, ten, who goes to Clanfield Junior School, dressed up as Pudsey Bear, the appeal’s mascot.

Jessica said: “We have been doing lots of exciting things at school to raise money for Children in Need. We have had a car-racing competition, a colouring competition and a treasure hunt and spotty dressing-up day to help raise lots of money for it.”

The appeal was launched in 1980 and has raised almost £1billion for children.
