BBC Children In Need

BBC Children In Need

We’re there for the UK’s Children and Young People.

BBC Children in Need is here to make sure that every child has the childhood they deserve – and the support they need to thrive.

We are committed to funding the grassroots organisations and project workers across the UK that provide the vital positive relationships children need to help them navigate the challenges in their lives. Our project workers support, inspire and champion them to ensure they have opportunities and can reach their goals. And that will always be our approach.

We fund thousands of charities and projects in every corner of the UK, that support children and young people to feel and be safer, have improved mental health and wellbeing, form better, more positive relationships and be given more equal opportunities to flourish.

JOIN US, 15th NOVEMBER ON BBC ONE
Our SPOTacular annual appeal in November inspires our communities across the UK to come together, raise funds and show support.

Our November appeal wouldn’t be complete without our big night of television on the BBC, featuring famous faces, SPOTacular programmes, and reports from children and young people whose lives have been changed thanks to your support.
