A cake sale and raffle at the Wimbledon Guardian’s offices on Friday raised £119 for the charity, with members of staff competing for the coveted Star Baker 2014 trophy.

The raffle proved extremely popular, with some prizes donated by Mexican restaurant Wahaca, Indian eatery Khanage in the Broadway, Wimbledon, and the Old Bank pub in Sutton.
A family ticket to this year’s pantomime Cinderella at the New Wimbledon Theatre was won by Ali Masud who works on the sub-editing team at the offices in Sutton.
Children at nurseries across Merton also got into the charity spirit, with youngsters and staff dressing up as superheroes at the Co-operative Childcare nursery in Durnsford Road, Wimbledon.
The team raised £125 in sponsorship and cake sales.

Julie Latham, nursery manager said: "Not only did we raise money for a great cause, but we also had a lot of fun whilst doing so and the children found learning about the work that Children in Need is involved in very engaging."
On Thursday, children at two branches of the Playdays Nursery in Wimbledon got a visit from Pudsey bear himself.
