Today we have an exciting piece of news regarding an event Matthew Lewis will be attending tomorrow. He will be taking part in the Children in Need Annual Appeal in Pudsey. As a prominent figure from the region, Matt has been asked to participate in the various events throughout the day, such as meeting children, to help raise money for the charity.
Children in Need is an annual British charity appeal organised by the BBC. Since 1980 it has raised over £500 million. The highlight of the Children in Need appeal is an annual telethon, held in November. A teddy bear named “Pudsey Bear” fronts the campaign, while Terry Wogan is a long standing host. Children in Need is one of three high-profile British telethons, the others being Red Nose Day and Sport Relief, both supporting the Comic Relief charity. [source]
Some of the event will be televised live on BBC1, so if anyone can capture footage with Matt please send it in so I can post it!
