How are people in Grantham taking part in Children in Need 2022?




Pudsey bear returned for Children in Need 2022, and this is how people across the area took part in it.

Roger Graves, who works for HSBC in Grantham, cycled 182 miles and has so far collected £1,500 for the annual fundraising event.

He visited other HSBC branches in Grantham, Oakham, Stamford, Kettering, Corby, Peterborough, Stamford, Spalding, Wisbech and King's Lynn to raise funds.

He even made a stop to join the finale of the BBC Rickshaw Challenge, where he cycles a lap of Silverstone with Rickshaw, five children and TV presenter Matt Baker.

Stephanie said: "At Long Bennington school today (November 18) they are playing games that cost 20p each to raise money for Children in Need."
