Pudsey meets Paddington in Newbury as part of BBC’s Children in Need fundraiser




Volunteers from Newbury’s 41 Club have been helping Pudsey to collect donations for BBC Children in Need today (Friday).

The big yellow bear has been spotted in his usual place on Bridge Street in the town centre, shaking his donation bucket.

He was also seen meeting Newbury’s newest resident and fellow bear Paddington in his usual spot on the bench outside Camp Hopson on Northbrook Street.
