See below for the vast array of crazy antics!  A normal day at work for Clifton Ingram solicitors Send in your Children In Need photos to:
Solicitors, trainees, secretaries, partners and support staff at Clifton Ingram all听 dressed up as their favourite children's characters to raise money for Children In Need.听 They collected donations from their clients and the Wokingham public 鈥 heading out into the high street at lunch time.听 They also ran a 鈥渂est dressed鈥 competition and all benefited from the partners serving tea, coffee and cakes (in exchange for a donation to CIN of course!). Trainee solicitor Stuart Adams said: "We were even fortunate enough to speak to Debbie McGee live on 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire!"  Forest Park Toddler Group in Bracknell created this giant hand-and-foot-painted Pudsey and raised 拢1097.22!  Transport Research Laboratory near Wokingham held a Pennies For Pudsey campaign. They built a giant Pudsey out of coppers, with five pence pieces on the face, and stuck giant coloured spots everywhere, with some Pudsey balloons for extra oomph.听  Pennies for Pudsey! They also had a 'spotty cake' sale. A rough count shows that they raised 拢675 on Friday 15 November - 拢190 of which came from the Pudsey! Kate Wall wrote in to say that she sold bacon rolls and sausage sandwiches outside Parsons Down junior School in Thatcham. She said: "Many thanks to staff, pupils, parents, neighbours and family. We raised 拢150." Warfield C of E primary school had a cake sale on Friday 14 November. Children had to make cakes at home and bring them in for the sale. After school everyone came into one of the classrooms and bought cakes for 50p or more. Pupils also enjoyed a wear-your-school-uniform-back-to-front-and-inside-out day! They paid a pound each and brought in their teddies. They estimate they have made around 拢200. On Friday 14 November 13-year-old Sam Birks and James Pitt ran 10 km for Children In Need. Ratcliffe, Duce and Gammer solicitors in Wokingham spent the day writing people's wills. Instead of paying clients were asked to make a donation to Children in Need. Clients were also provided with tea and doughnuts for an extra contribution while they waited for their wills to be ready to sign.听 Not only did it provide a good source of fundraising, but prompted some people to make wills who otherwise would not have done so. Slough's Snakes and Ladders Mascot, Bertie the Bear sported his Pudsey bandana on Friday 14 November to host an evening of fun and fundraising for Children in Need.
