Celebrities back Sense Roobarb and Custard Barclays Pin Badge Appeal

Sense has teamed up with Barclays Bank for a pin badge appeal featuring the much loved cult cartoon characters Roobarb and Custard.

The must-have badges are available for a suggested donation of £1 in all branches of Barclays Bank. You can find your local branch on Barclays website.

Sense is delighted that long time celebrity supporter Richard Briers, who's also the original narrator of the Roobarb and Custard cartoon is supporting the venture.

Richard Briers said:

"I am delighted to hear that Sense is teaming up with my old friends Roobarb and Custard to raise awareness and money for deafblind people. I have very fond memories of narrating the programme and would like to urge everyone to support Sense, as I’ve done in the past. Please pop into your local Barclays Bank to buy a badge for the little (and big!) people in your life."

And other celebrities are also supporting the sale of the badges. Fellow children's TV icons and Blue Peter presenters Sarah Greene and Valerie Singleton are sporting the badges and urging other people to do the same.
