Today we shared the story of 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope' by Tom Fletcher.

Inspired by Pudsey’s 40-year legacy of hope and resilience, Pudsey and the Thread of Hope was created to celebrate the vital work of BBC Children in Need.

The story follows Jai, a young boy navigating grief, who discovers healing and courage through a magical journey with Pudsey. Along the way, they meet other children connected by a golden thread of kindness and empowerment, highlighting the importance of trusted, positive relationships in helping young people overcome adversity. The book aims to raise awareness and funds to ensure that children across the UK have access to the support, connection and care they need. 

Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and merchandise and wore their own clothes in aid of Children In Need, we are very proud that the money raised will go to those who need it most.
