Fun
stuff
to
Do Something Different

Hello and welcome to the
first of our three little books
of fundraising inspiration.
In this book you’ll find some
fun ideas to help inspire you
to Do Something Different for
BBC Children in Need 2008.
Remember different doesn’t mean
difficult or expensive, it just means
doing something outside of your
everyday routine to help raise money
for disadvantaged children and young
people across the UK.
Do Something Different at bbc.co.uk/pudsey

In the spirit of doing things differently,
this year we’ve designed the Pudsey
bandana for everyone to wear together
with a brand new range of ‘I’m with
Puds’ goodies, including t-shirts, badges,
diaries, key rings and ooh lots of other
great stuff!
And we’re not the only ones who’ve
been busy, a little later in this book
you’ll also find some fantastic Pudsey
goodies you can buy on the high
street. So Do please read on.
For every penny you donate,
a penny will go towards projects
helping disadvantaged children and
young people in the UK. We are
able to make this promise because
the charity uses its investment income
to cover all operational costs.

That’s
the
way to
Do it!
Last year you and some of our famous
friends helped raise an amazing total
of £37 million for BBC Children in Need
with a whole range of brilliant fundraising
activities. For inspiration here are some
ideas from last year:
Dustbin men in Bedford wore fancy dress
while doing their round for a whole week.
Dogs at a doggy care centre in Hampshire
were sponsored to swim laps of their
swimming pool.
Students at colleges in the North West
offered pampering sessions for £15, including
a nail file and polish, facial, make-up, photo
shoot and refreshments.
A photographic company in Kent organised
a yummy mummies calendar featuring mums
doing household chores while dressed
in Hollywood glamour.
A spinning bike was ridden continuously for
80 hours with participants taking 30 minute
shifts at a gym in N. Ireland.
Staff and Pupils at a school in Wales broke
the record for the longest Human/ Teddy
Bear Chain. Around 430 pupils took part!
Think you can Do it again this year?
We bet you’ll Do even better!
