Royal mail issued special postmark to support Children in Need

Royal Mail has issued a special postmark in support of this year’s BBC Children in Need Appeal on Friday 13th November.

Since 1980, BBC Children in Need has raised over £790 million, and currently supports over 2,500 projects across the UK. BBC Children in Need funded projects support disadvantaged children and young people facing disadvantages including poverty and deprivation, disability and issues surrounding distress, abuse and neglect.

Royal Mail’s postmark was applied to millions of items of UK stamped mail nationwide on Friday 13 November. It featured Pudsey bear alongside the words ‘BBC Children in Need 13 Nov 2015’

Andrew Hammond from Royal Mail, said:                                                                                       “Over the last 36 years, BBC Children in Need has become a highlight in the UK fundraising calendar. We are really pleased to be supporting the campaign in this way.”

Carrie Green, Head of Commercial at BBC Children in Need, said:                                                     “It is great to have the support of Royal Mail this campaign. Thanks to Royal Mail, Pudsey was travelling further around the UK than ever before.”
