Dance Information

"Pudsey Bear" is BBC Children in Need's mascot. He was created and named in 1985 by BBC graphic designer Joanna Lane, who worked in the BBC's design department. The bear was named after her hometown of Pudsey, West Yorkshire, where her grandfather was mayor. A reproduction of the bear mascot (made of vegetation) is in Pudsey park, near the town centre.
BBC Children in Need (also promoted as Plant Mewn Angen in Wales) is the BBC's UK charity. Since 1980 it has raised many millions of pounds for children and young people in the UK.
One of the highlights is an annual telethon, held in November and televised on BBC channels. BBC Children in Need fundraising events are promoted nationally in other media.
