The big teddy bear Pudsey Bear was introduced to the Children In Need charity in 1985. The big teddy bear which was originally brown, was the creation of Yorkshire born Joanna Ball, naming him Pudsey after the town where she had been born. The following year Pudsey had changed to the more familiar yellow bear with the spotty eye patch that we all recognise and love today.
Pudsey items including plush bears, mugs and clothing, have sold in their millions raising funds for countless children's charity's throughout the UK.. There have been BBC appeals to help children since 1927 starting on radio, then the first appeal on television in 1955. 1980 had seen the first BBC Telethon hosted by Terry Wogan , Sue Lawley and Ester Rantzen. It automatically appealed to the nations hearts as they saw the donations rise significantly and reach the million pound mark encouraging more and more people to act.
The Official BBC Children In Need song for 2009 which featured Pudsey Bear.
Last year was the 30th BBC Children in Need Appeal and a record breaking £39 million was raised. The registered charity which raises money throughout the year holds its annual telethon on Friday 19th November. A link has been provided to view the official donation web page. Please give as much as you can to this worthwhile children's charity http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/donate/

Teddy Bears And Flowers
Sending teddy bears and flowers is a wonderful way to show someone you care. Teddy bears are a brilliant comforter and a lovely reminder that someone is thinking of you. Only too often we find ourselves living miles from our loved ones or friends and what could be better than a surprise gift of a teddy bear and flowers.
They can be bought and delivered personally or ordered on line or by telephone and delivered to that someone special who you haven't seen in a while. When you are feeling that it's about time to show someone you care or maybe it's someone's birthday or they are in need of comfort because you know they're feeling blue, what better way to give some cheer than to have a special delivery from a teddy bears and flowers lover like yourself is wonderful.
And even if you're not a fan of these endearing gifts, remember that the person you care about probably does.
