PUDSEY BEAR `GOES SOUTH’ WITH HMS ENDURANCE
To celebrate this year’s Children in Need night, HMS Endurance took Pudsey Bear to Antarctica and set about raising funds to support the BBC Children in Need Appeal.

BBC Children in Need Appeal
- Of the 80,000 young people who run away from home each year, a quarter are under the age of 11.
- More than 350,000 children entitled to free school meals don’t claim them for fear of bullying.
- Nearly 1,000 children under the age of 7 provide full-time care for their parents or siblings.
BBC Children in Need positively changes the lives and prospects of children and young people living in the UK who have suffered hardships, difficulties or disadvantages of some kind.
Each year the charity provides practical and lasting support to thousands of youngsters aged 18 and under, including those who have experienced homelessness, neglect, abuse or poverty, and those who've encountered serious illnesses, disabilities, psychological disorders or addictions.
