STAFF and customers at the Skipton Building Society in Deansgate, Bolton are to take part in a Children in Need Fun Day on Friday, November 15.

Donations will be encouraged and there will be fundraising competitions and games.

More than £300 million has been raised by the BBC fund-raising event since the first programme in 1980.

Joan Houghton, the Skipton branch manager in Bolton, said: "Every little bit helps and I would like to encourage everyone to come down to the branch on November 15 to support the team and, of course, to raise money with Pudsey bear."
