Sunday 15th November saw the first ever human and teddy chain taking shape in Beaulieu village in aid of Children in Need. The final number was 134 entries so 'thank you and well done' to all those who took part.

Visitors to the village were also treated to a visit from Blaze the firestation bear, a teddy workout, facepainting, games, music from Tom Crisp, freshly baked Pudsey cakes and cookies and other entertainment. A huge 'thank you' also to those members of the community who made this fundraiser possible including Laserwords in Hythe for the promotional printing.

Our total so far is... £620.90

Beaulieu Village really did 'Do Something Different'!
