Children In Need makes big change to Pudsey Bear to show not all conditions are visible

BBC Children In Need has made huge changes to its beloved yellow mascot, Pudsey Bear, to highlight health issues that aren't always immediately visible on the surface.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, Children In Need has temporarily removed Pudsey's famous eye covering to illustrate how "not all of the challenges that children and young people may be facing are visible".

This move is part of the charity's brand-new Behind The Bandana campaign, launched in a bid to encourage important conversations between children and their parents, carers, or other such trusted adults.
