BBC Children in Need Bear Hunt

Bridgewater children search for Pudsey Bear in aid of BBC Children in Need

In recent years, children and young people have faced unprecedented and life-defining challenges, all of which have left their mark. But, with the support from communities such as ours, BBC Children in Need can change the lives of those where the need is greatest and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive and be the best that they can be.

This year, the charity’s Great SPOTacular provided the perfect way for Bridgewater children to get involved. From individual fundraising efforts such as that of Prep IV’s Beatrice, who joined dancers from all over the UK for the nation’s largest ‘tapathon’, to our youngest pupils who collectively headed into neighbouring Worsley Woods for a bear hunt in search of the famous ‘Pudsey Bear’, there were lots of small ways in which we could all help to make a huge difference.

The fundraising total for BBC Children in Need 2022 now stands at over £35,273,000 and we are immensely proud to have played our part.
