Southport Hesketh Round Table is bringing Pudsey Bear from BBC Children In Need out of hibernation for some special visits this November!  

The charity that manages some of the largest family events in Southport including the Grand Bonfire and Fireworks, the Santa float and the Southport Mad Dog 10K run is bringing the yellow six-foot teddy bear out of hibernation for the weekend to visit the schools and businesses of Southport on Friday, 19th November 2021.

Southport Hesketh Round Table Vice Chairman Marc Foreman is expecting a huge response for visits within Southport and the local communities.  

He said: “2020 was a tough year with restrictions due to Covid so we couldn’t take Pudsey out and visit schools and local businesses, but this year he’s back and going to be bigger and cheekier than ever. 

“If any local businesses or schools within Southport would like a quick visit for photos and pass over any donations raised for the Children In Need charity, we bank it for them directly, so it’s a win-win scenario for everyone.

“It’s also coming up to that time of year when Southport Hesketh Round Table will be organising their annual Santa float routes so we are also on the search for local charities and community projects that would like to assist us on our nightly routes across the town.

“Last year was the first time we had various sponsors for the routes, so if any local businesses would like to sponsor a night with a ‘shout-out from Santa’ please contact us on our Facebook page.” 

If anyone would like to join, volunteer or assist in the future please get in contact via the Facebook page Southport Hesketh Round Table 1199.

    The children at Banks Methodist Primary School, Banks, Southport, PR9 8EY would love a visit from Pudsey Bear on Friday 19th November when they will be wearing their pyjamas to raise money for Children in Need.
