YOUNGSTERS can get a their hands on a new cuddly chum while supporting Children in Need at a Merry Hill store.
Build-A-Bear Workshop is inviting children to make Pudsey's best friend, Spots of Fun Pup, with £1 from each sale going directly to the BBC appeal.
The charity will receive an additional £2 if Pudsey pyjamas are purchased for the playful pooch to wear.
Since 2008, Build-A-Bear Workshops has raised more than £51,000 for Children in Need.
Tanya Coventry-Strader, managing director of bear marketing communications, said: “The welfare and support of children is very close to our hearts. BBC Children in Need’s work in aid of young people who are vulnerable and at risk is an important cause which we feel privileged to advocate.”
