Description
Morning all :o)
Ashleigh had her face painted as Pudsey Bear for 2 reasons on Friday .Firstly to help a charity called Children In Need here in the UK and secondly to go the party the other night .Her Mum and Sister put the make up for her on Friday morning for School and apart from a little touching up when she came home the paint was all still intact :o)
I`m still in the process of catching up :o)..Thanks for taking a look and take care
Mick
Some info I`ve found :
Each year since 1980, the BBC has set aside one evening of programming on its flagship television channel, BBC One, to show events aimed at raising money for charities working with children in the UK. In 2007, the last event, the charity raised over £37 million, of which £13 million was raised on the broadcasted evening. BBC coverage also extends across the BBC's other television channels and national and local radio channels. A mascot called 'Pudsey', a teddy bear with a bandage over one eye, was introduced in 1985 and has become a regular feature. In 2007 Pudsey and the Children in Need logo were redesigned. Children in Need was registered as a charity in 1989
The appeal gains the majority of its money from donations of private individuals who may themselves have raised the funds by taking part in sponsored events. Sponsored sitting in a bath of baked beans is a perennial favourite. Companies also donate either money directly or benefits in kind, such as HSBC donating banking facilities, and BT donating telephone lines and operatives. On the night of the televised appeal, donations are solicited by celebrities appearing on the seven-hour long programme performing various activities such as sketches or musical numbers, intermixed with featurettes showing what the money will be used for. Featured celebrities often include those from programmes on the BBC's rival ITV network, including some appearing in-character, and/or from the sets of their own programmes. A sketch by BBC newsreaders has become an annual fixture (in recent years, Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in 2005 and a 'James Bond' theme in 2006). Stars of newly-opened West End musicals regularly perform a number from their show later in the evening after 'curtain call' in their respective theatres. The total raised so far is frequently flashed on screen, with presenters urging viewers to part with "any penny they can spare" to help push the total beyond the target milestone
The money contributed to Children in Need is distributed to organisations supporting children aged 18 and under who have mental, physical or sensory disabilities; behavioural or psychological disorders; are living in poverty or situations of deprivation; or suffering through distress, sex abuse or neglect

I had no need to read to know that it was Pudsey Mick, Ashleigh looks great and a great image for the family albumn as well. One that Ashleigh can look back on in years to come, maybe to show her children what mummy did when she was little. A great cause 'Children in Need' but also sad that it has to be done, a shame that they can use so much money and it still not be enough. I am not knocking the cause here but the need for it in the first place. I feel shamed that our children need this so much but proud that so much is given to the cause. I'm sure you know what I mean. An excellent capture Mick, and a grand daughter to be proud of. Bravo!!!!!
