Paint a Pottery Pudsey Bear...

...and help raise money for this years BBC Children in Need Appeal.

It's so easy, and brilliant for your business!

So this is how it works...

first, you sign a contract that we (Hobby Ceramicraft) will provide to you, post it back to us, and we will forward to BBC Children in Need. This is a contract between you and BBC Children in Need(!), which will then officially entitle you to sell these bisque Pudsey Bears in your business, providing you agree to donate a minimum of 50p per piece to The BBC Children in Need Appeal. For each Pudsey Bear you buy from Hobby Ceramicraft, we also will be donating 25p per item to the Appeal!

You...

stock them in your studio, or run special 'Pottery Pudsey Bear Painting' events, and raise bucketloads of money for this great cause, then after November 20th (night of the Appeal) you send your total donation (via cheque or Paypal), to Hobby Ceramicraft. We will link your donation with your contract and submit it directly to BBC Children in Need on your behalf.

So much more than just painting a Pudsey Bear....

Children decorating Pudsey Bears will be engaging with this well known British charity. Learning what 'Pudsey Bear' represents and what the charity stands for, understanding a little more about charitable giving, while at the same time, having fun. In this process they will be raising money for other children less fortunate than they are. A child learning about empathy while having fun, being creative with colours, creating a treasured keepsake, and raising money for a good cause… how perfect is that!?
