CHILDREN in Need was marked something spectacular in Bovey Tracey this past week as Wizard of Oz characters came to life.

Held on Friday, November 18, the team at The Old Pottery Restaurant, which is situated inside the House of Marbles, dressed up as characters from Wizard of Oz to raise funds for Children in Need.

Inspired by the theme of The Wizard of Oz, and jumping in with their best foot (or paw) forward, they donated their tips to the cause.

Likewise, any proceeds generated from the sales of cupcakes and shortbread were also be donated at the end of the day.

Senior Restaurant Supervisor, Di, coordinated the day’s events, to not only bring a smile to visiting customers, but to the children who are in need of help through the charity’s aims.

The donation will go to supporting children so that they are safe, feel safe, have improved mental health and wellbeing, all with the goal of allowing them to flourish.
