Charity Awards
Welcome back to the Creative Awards London blog where we bring you the very best in bespoke awards and design. In today's blog post we celebrate Charity Awards Week where we examine our awards for some of the biggest charities in the UK. We are immensely proud to work with a range of charities and help to make their events and evenings special for those attending and helping to raise money to support their fine causes.
Since 1980 the BBC's Children In Need has raised over £600 million for disabled children and young people across the UK. Indeed, the fixture has become a staple of British culture and a yearly TV highlight. The iconic mascot of Children In Need, Pudsey Bear has become a beloved TV character for many across the land. Creative Awards London were honoured to be tasked with designing the inaugural Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of the Year award that celebrates the individual who has gone above and beyond in raising money for the charity, paying homage to the late Sir Terry Wogan who hosted the show for over 20 years. A handmade model of the iconic bear was first created from clay and a highly detailed cast was made to create the resin base. A beautiful silver finish was applied with semi-precious stones adorn the statue adding glamour and taking the beautiful design even further.

Made from optically clear acrylic expertly fashioned into a minimalist column, the body of the award features a rich, organic wood that offers a contrast to the sharp lines of the acrylic. The award can be customised to any colour and wood combination and engraved with the event and recipient's details making it the perfect piece for a charity event.
