Pudsey Pays a Visit to F.Hinds Ahead of BBC Children in Need 2023

09 Nov 2023

F.Hinds were thrilled to welcome the iconic Pudsey Bear through their doors on Monday, 6th November, to assist with their fundraising efforts for BBC Children in Need.

The popular mascot paid a visit to the F.Hinds Head Office and Uxbridge store, much to the delight of its shoppers, ahead of the BBC Children in Need Appeal Show on Friday 17th November. The charity is famed for its fantastic work in supporting grassroots organisations and project workers across the UK to support the children who need it the most.

The family-run jewellers continue to play their part in the fundraising efforts with their limited edition collection, including a Pudsey-themed Alarm Clock, Trinket Box and Money Box. A fantastic 35% from the sale of each product will go directly to BBC Children in Need, to be distributed amongst their plethora of charities.

F.Hinds is also entering any shoppers who purchase a Pudsey product, pin badge or headband – or anyone who donates in-store - into a prize draw to win the entire PudseyCollection. This competition will end on Thursday, 23rd November.

So far, over £7,000 of the brand’s £10,000 target has been raised thanks to the generosity of F.Hinds’ loyal customers, with staff at the stores and Head Office also completing their own fundraising efforts to support the cause.

Paul Hinds, Managing Director at F.Hinds, commented,

“It was a true honour to welcome Pudsey to our Head Office and Uxbridge Store to help us fundraise for BBC Children in Need. Our limited edition collection has been so popular with our customers, and we are so excited that we have already raised over £7,000 for this amazing cause thanks to their generosity.

“We encourage shoppers to take a look at our fun and colourful range available to buy in-store and online. We have our sights set on a target of £10,000, which will be able to provide invaluable support to charities across the country thanks to BBC Children in Need, so all donations, no matter how big or small, are gratefully received!

Plus, this collection is available for a limited time only, so get hold of it before it goes!
