Papdale’s Business Manager is game for a laugh for Children in Need!

Animal, footballer or ballerina? The decision is yours!

Cast your vote in the online fundraiser and you decide which outfit Papdale Primary’s Kevin Balfour will wear for this month’s Children in Need.

• Option A - A Leeds United Kit (Mr Balfour is a huge Leeds fan)
• Option B - A Giraffe Costume (They're both tall)
• Option C - Ballerina Costume (Why Not!)

It’s not “tutu” difficult to figure out which one is in the lead at the moment, but you may want to change that.

Are you a Leeds fan? Do you love the grace and elegance of a giraffe, or are you partial to a pink fluffy tutu and ballet pumps?

Depute Head Teacher, Michele Dufort, said: “This year the children in P7 came up with the idea to raise funds by pledging money to see Mr Balfour, our retiring Business Manager, in a fancy dress costume of your choice for his last Children in Need Day. We are encouraging the whole Papdale community to help us raise money for Children in Need by pledging your votes for one of three different costume options.

“The page that raises the most money by 5pm on Thursday 18 November will be the costume Mr Balfour must wear. We have already received around £300 in donations which is fantastic and we thank you for that.”

Mr Balfour is a lifelong Leeds United fan, so he’s been a little bit naughty and contacted the Yorkshire Evening Post in a bid to ask for their help in publicising the fundraiser and, more importantly for him, to attract votes for option A! Tut tut Mr Balfour! We’ll let you off though as it’s all in a good cause!

So, to ensure you see Mr Balfour in the outfit of your choice, click on the option from below and donate to Children in Need.
