Solicitors, trainees, secretaries, partners and support staff at Clifton Ingram all听 dressed up as their favourite children's characters to raise money for Children In Need.听 They collected donations from their clients and the Wokingham public 鈥 heading out into the high street at lunch time.听 They also ran a 鈥渂est dressed鈥 competition and all benefited from the partners serving tea, coffee and cakes (in exchange for a donation to CIN of course!). Trainee solicitor Stuart Adams said: "We were even fortunate enough to speak to Debbie McGee live on 91热爆 Radio Berkshire!"  Forest Park Toddler Group in Bracknell created this giant hand-and-foot-painted Pudsey and raised 拢1097.22!  Transport Research Laboratory near Wokingham held a Pennies For Pudsey campaign.
