There’s one resident of Perry Common who’s life will certainly be changing in the very near future.  Perry (Perry Common’s very own owl, who has made his home right outside Perry Common Community Hall) will be getting a new friend – a new bear!

But we need your help.  As you can see, Perry is a very bright chap (thanks to the colourful painting all over him – with ideas from local people.  We need to do the same for his new friend.

Over the next few weeks, and especially during the Easter Holidays, we will be hosting lots of events, where we are asking you to come along and give us your ideas on how Perry’s friend should look. You can draw them, tell us, photos – whatever you think would look good.

What’s more, you will also be helping Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Keep checking our website, social media and notice boards for more news.

And why not have a selfie with him.
