If you go down to the supermarket today, you could be in for a surprise.
For three friends have got together to knit hundreds of bears for the BBC Children in Need appeal as the nationwide annual TV fundraiser approaches.
Betty Williams, Christine Briggs and Maria Pasila, have been busy knitting 500 Pudsey Bears, the Children in Need mascot, which they will be selling to shoppers in the run-up to the event.
“We’re selling them at Morrisons at Girlington for £5 each, on November 21,” said Betty. “They’re lovely bears. We hope to raise £1,000.”
