Southport Hesketh Round Table 1199 is preparing for an incredible few weeks ahead, with a series of community-focused events that showcase the organisation’s commitment to supporting local people, businesses, schools and charities across the region.
Pudsey is Back in Town!
One of the highlights of the week sees Southport Hesketh Round Table once again bringing BBC Children in Need’s official Pudsey Bear to communities across the area.
This year marks the biggest Pudsey programme the group has ever delivered, with visits scheduled to more than 40 schools, nurseries, playgroups, community projects and local businesses.
The much-loved mascot will be meeting thousands of children and families ahead of BBC Children in Need, helping raise smiles, awareness and funds for the national charity.
Organisations interested in arranging a visit after 3:30pm are encouraged to get in touch with the Round Table as soon as possible, as limited availability remains.
Santa’s Getting Ready for the Road
There may still be a few weeks until Christmas, but preparations are already well underway for one of Southport’s favourite festive traditions – the Southport Santa Float.
Starting on Monday 30th November, Santa and his dedicated team of volunteers will begin touring Woodvale and Ainsdale, before making their way north through local communities and eventually finishing in Hesketh Bank on 17th December 2026.
The annual Santa Float raises vital funds for local good causes while bringing festive cheer to thousands of families across the area.
The team is currently finalising routes and timings and hopes to reach as many streets, estates and community locations as possible throughout the tour.
And that’s not all…
The Round Table can also reveal that there is something very special in the pipeline, with an exciting announcement set to be unveiled over the coming weeks.

A Proud Record of Supporting the Community
Southport Hesketh Round Table 1199 has a long-standing reputation for supporting local causes and delivering major community initiatives.
The group has worked closely alongside Southport Football Club on numerous fundraising projects and community events including the Celebrity Charity football match in 2025 and 2026.
Not forgetting the significant role in supporting fundraising efforts that generated more than £300,000 for the families affected by the tragic incident in Southport in July 2024.
Through events, volunteering and charitable activities, Round Table members continue to invest thousands of hours into making a positive difference across the local area.
