November 14, 2025

A veteran fundraiser donned the Pudsey suit once again as the famous bear tours the region for Children in Need.

Paul Ford has been the brainchild behind the efforts of Stirling and Bridge of Allan Round Table to support the famous charitable cause, getting the Pudsey Bear costume out and about at local schools, railway stations - and even all the way to the top of Dumyat.

A planned scale of the peak on Thursday morning was abandoned due to weather - with Pudsey heading up the Wallace Monument instead, before setting off for a tour of nine schools and nurseries on Friday.
