1 December 2008

Throughout the whole month of November 2008, every time you topped-up at a cash machine, participating banks and mobile phone operators made a donation to the 2008 BBC Children in Need appeal!
Thousands of you flocked to cash machines to top-up in November! This helped us raise a wonderful grand total of £79,759 for the charity. Thank you to everyone who topped-up for Pudsey!
20p bonus weekend!
14-16 November 2008
Children in Need appeal night was on Friday 14th November this year. As an extra special treat for Pudsey, from 14-16 November, the participating banks and mobile phone operators increased the 5p donation to 20p for every mobile top-up at an ATM!
Pudsey's UK tour
4-12 November 2008
The nation's best loved bear hit the road and went on tour around the UK to help us raise awareness about the 'Top-up for Pudsey' fundraiser for BBC Children in Need!
Pudsey visited bank branches across the country to spread the word that everyone with a prepay mobile can do a good deed for free this November - simply by topping-up at an ATM!
