Teachers and students run and bake to raise money for Children in Need

Teachers and students across the United Kingdom are participating in physical and creative challenges to raise money for Children in Need, a charity that supports underserved children.

Amy Williamson and Laura Pryor, teachers at Perranporth Community School, completed a combined 26 mile run to reach their school in time for an assembly. This effort joined a larger collective goal to move Pudsey, the charity mascot, from Land's End to John'O'Groats. Williamson and Pryor have already raised £5,000 for the cause.

Other participants are contributing through endurance and baking. Teachers at Marine Academy in Plymouth completed a 26 hour treadmill run hosted by BBC Devon. In St Austell, 16 year old Harriet, a BBC Make a Difference Young Hero finalist, decorated cupcakes with the face of Pudsey to encourage community support. These activities aim to provide resources for children who need extra help.
