Bringing Pudsey in to meet the children in person creates an awareness about the charity and what they do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows, it might even inspire the children or their parents to go out and take part in a sponsored event for charity \u2013 one of the children could grow up to be a great charity fundraiser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The store\u2019s community champion, Stephen Bromby, escorted Pudsey to thirteen local schools and a youth club.
