One Stop and BBC Children in Need have been proud partners for more than a decade, making a difference together in your local area.
Funds raised by customers and colleagues help BBC Children in Need to support amazing people and projects near you – including youth clubs, family centres, community spaces, homeless shelters, hospices and helplines.
We know that children and young people face increasing pressures in local areas across the UK. Let’s help to ensure they have someone by their side when they need it most.
2026 marks One Stop’s 14th year supporting BBC Children in Need. Thanks to the generosity of colleagues and customers, they’ve raised more than £2 million for children and young people across the UK.
This year, customers can get involved by purchasing a range of Pudsey merchandise in-store, including water bottles, keyrings, shoe charms, pens, pin badges, Pudsey ears and plush toys. Their brilliant Community Champions will be leading the way, with colleagues across stores, distribution centres and head office taking part in fundraising activities such as cake sales, tombolas, fun days, and there will even be special Pudsey visits in stores nationwide.
Last Year, One Stop raised an incredible £363,000 for BBC Children in Need – a record-breaking total for the partnership and the highest amount One Stop have raised for any of their charity partners in one campaign.
Jack Taylor, Community and Partnership Manager at One Stop Stores said: “We’re over the moon with our record-breaking total raised for BBC Children in Need last year! At One Stop, we’re proud to be part of a supportive community that will always go above and beyond to make a difference. A massive thanks to our amazing colleagues and customers, because without your help none of this would have been possible!”
A huge thank you to all One Stop colleagues and customers for their continued support. Together, you’re helping BBC Children in Need fund vital projects and services that help children and young people thrive.
