Who you help
We’re there for the UK’s children
At BBC Children in Need we put the money raised by you, our SPOTacular fundraisers and supporters, to work all year round.
Our financial support is committed to funding grassroots organisations and project workers in every corner of the UK, who provide the vital relationships and support to help the children who need us most.
