Together We Can Change Young Lives
The pandemic has been hard on us all, but for young people across the UK already facing challenges, it’s made life even more difficult.
With your support, we can be on the ground helping to reach even more young people in local communities like yours.
The Difference Your Fundraising Makes
£50 means a 14-year-old boy affected by poverty who is being bullied can attend a one-to-one counselling session, helping to build resilience, manage feelings and improve their emotional wellbeing.
£100 can pay for specialist resources, support and equipment that enables a seven-year-old girl on the autism spectrum to understand and better communicate her feelings and reduce her anxiety about connecting with others.
£300 pays for a new cooker to replace a broken one for a self-isolating family struggling financially who have a child who is unwell, enabling them to cook nutritious, hot food.
From coast to coast, in towns and cities right across the UK, BBC Children in Need is out there making a difference.
The amazing projects we support help change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people all over the country.
