Centre Algarve, the holiday centre for young people with special needs in Moncarapacho, threw open their doors and welcomed several hundred visitors to their Pudsey Fun Day recently.
Groups from across the region helped to raise in excess of €5,000 for Children in Need. Helping to make the day a spectacular success were a magician, fashion show, beauty parlour, bouncy castle, numerous stalls and the Annette School of Dance from Quarteira.
Pudsey Bear was on hand to receive donations, including a cheque for €1,056 from the customers and staff of the Overseas Supermarkets group.
Tours of the animal and bird enclosures proved popular, with the meerkats and three-legged goat receiving much attention.
