Scores of schools, local businesses and groups joined in the annual BBC fundraising marathon with many fun events.

Students generously gave their pocket money and took part in a host of activities at the studio, including a dance in pyjamas, a name the panda game, a sweet jar contest and a bake sale! “Students and parents have been incredibly supportive,” said Principal Patricia Ham. “It’s been a pleasure to see them enter into the spirit of the week and unite for such a good cause!”
Octopus Daycare Centre staff and children in Burnham dressed up for Children In Need. ‘Not everybody needs to look like a Superhero to be a Superhero’ was the theme. Lots of colourful costumes were worn and the children took part in helping the activities. They raised around £100 for the special cause and had loads of fun!
