Exeter nursery goes Spotacular for Children in Need
Children from Happy Days South West Nursery, Exeter went Spotacular for BBC Children in Need last week.
Lloyds Bank and BBC Children in Need’s exciting new schools fundraising campaign, The Big Spotacular, is encouraging children and teachers to dress up in spots, sell spotty cakes and goods, and take part in spotty themed challenges, to raise more money than ever before for children who need it most.
To launch Happy Days Southwest Nursey’s fundraising plans, children turned their nursery spotty. The nursery also plans to hold a range of other fundraising activities ahead of Appeal Night.
Stephanie Hearn, Nursery Manager at Happy Days South West Nursery, said: “We had great fun turning Happy Days South West Nursery spotty! The children are very excited about The Big Lloyds Bank Spotacular and developing spotty fundraising ideas for BBC Children in Need.”
Lloyds Bank is encouraging schools to join the fun by claiming their free Spotacular kit, containing fundraising ideas, resources, and other spotty delights. Pudsey Bear will also be travelling the length of the country as part of the Spotacular Pudsey UK Roadshow, to celebrate with some of the schools participating in the campaign.
Stuart Beaver, Director, Partnership & Community Programmes at Lloyds Banking Group said: “Our partnership with BBC Children in Need continues to produce fantastic results, in particular with the brilliant fundraising happening in schools across the country. The partnership continues to form an important part of the Group’s Helping Britain Prosper Plan, with education one of the key pillars in helping to address some of the big issues facing the people, businesses and communities of Britain today.
“Handing the fundraising planning over to the children was a great success last year, and I cannot wait to see how Spotacular their fundraising activity is this year.”
