Jenkins the Bakers help Children In Need
The Jenkins Bakery is doing its bit for the BBC’s annual Children In Need appeal.
The bakery, which has 25 shops across South Wales, has produced a special biscuit in the shape of the Children In Need mascot, Pudsey Bear.
For every biscuit sold, the Jenkins Bakery is donating 10p to Children In Need.
“Our target is to sell 3,000,” said Operations Director Russell Jenkins.
“In addition, we find that our customers also boost the appeal by putting donations in boxes in our stores.
“The public are very generous when it comes to supporting a charitable event such as Children In Need.
“The Children In Need day captures the public’s imagination and we are doing our small bit to get into the spirit of it all by producing the Pudsey Bear biscuit.
“They are very popular with the customers and, hopefully, we will raise a decent sum of money for Children In Need.”
The Pudsey Bear biscuits are selling for 80p.
Last year, Children in Need raised more than £18 million on the night thanks to the generosity of supporters.
In the months following Appeal Night, money raised from fundraisers, schools and businesses around the UK, as well as donations, continued to pour in.
The fund-raising enabled £40 million to be given to projects supporting children and young people.
