Children in Need 2008 in Wiltshire

It's that time of the year again so tell us about your fund-raising events and send in your event photos!

For a 28th year, Children in Need is back again and thousands of fund-raising events will be taking place around the country culminating on Friday 14th November, the night of the TV appeal.

The people of Wiltshire have always been tireless fundraisers and generously dug deep into their pockets and 2008, despite a credit crunch, promises lots more local events.

We want anyone in the area who is raising money for Children in Need to tell us about it so we can promote it on our website and on BBC Radio Swindon and Wiltshire. To do this you can leave full details in the comments box below.

Events this week

Pudsey and his cowboy friends will be coming to a town near YOU for Children in Need...

Come and have your photo taken with Pudsey, and tell us what fundraising events you're organising so we can publicise them on air.

Let us know whether you'd like Pudsey to visit you....

Send in your photos

Also send us photos of your fund-raising activities - be it sitting in a bath of baked beans, having your head shaved or competing in a fun-run. Send them via the email link below.
