Build A Bear supporting Children in Need

Build-A-Bear Workshop^® has partnered with BBC Children in Need for 2012 and are delighted to announce the return of Pudsey and his lovely lady friend, Blush to Build-A-Bear Workshop^® stores nationwide and online at www.buildabear.co.uk from 1 October.

 

 

Pudsey and Blush will be appearing in all 55 stores across the UK and guests will have the opportunity to make and stuff their beary own BBC Children in Need mascot, add a heart – a Build-A-Bear Workshop^® trademark – and if they choose, dress them in pawsome outfits. This year £5 from every sale of Pudsey and Blush bear will go straight back to the BBC Children in Need charity and an additional £1 from the sale of the outfits including Pudsey’s casual jeans, classic Children in Need hoodie and high tops combination and Blush’s beary pretty polka dot skirt and sparkle trim flats. 

This year Pudsey and Blush have got a helping paw from their miniature companions-The Blush and Pudsey smallfrys. These are a new addition for the Children in Need 2012 campaign and will also be available in store and online, with a donation of £1 going to Children in Need.

After a hugely successful campaign last year that sold 11,840 bears and raised a bear-illiant £102,000 for BBC Children in Need, this year they are hoping to top this figure with help from Pudsey and Blush. Every sale of Pudsey and Blush will donate £5 to the BBC Children in Need charity which will help to fund grants and projects across the UK aiming to provide disadvantaged children with more opportunities and a better way of life. Every purchase really can change a child’s life for the better.

Guests can support the cause by purchasing a Pudsey or Blush Bear from any Build-A-Bear Workshop store nationwide or from the company’s website at www.buildabear.co.uk.

Pudsey Bear retails at £15; Pudsey Bear t-shirt at £5; Pudsey Bear slippers at £4.50 each. Blush Bear retails at £15; and the Blush Bear dress at £10 each. Pudsey and Blush smallfrys both retail at £8.
