Challenge Yourself for BBC Children in Need 2026! 💛
BBC Children in Need is back for 2026!
We know that things need to change for thousands of children and young people across the UK. Mental health challenges are growing – including depression and anxiety – and support systems are struggling. Your students know this too.
By stepping up and taking on one of our fundraising activities – or by creating your own – your school or form will be helping make sure that young people in communities like yours have someone by their side when they need it most.
Sign up to fundraise below and be in with the chance to WIN a £100 JD Voucher for your school.
Remember to save the date – BBC Children in Need Day is on Friday 13th November this year!
Last year, 100% of the money you raised helped support children and young people across the UK — funding local projects and the people who make that support possible.
Right now, we can only afford to fund 1 in 6 organisations that ask for our help. That’s nearly half a million children going without our support when they need us by their side. With your support, we can change that.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR FUNDRAISING
£2 PAYS FOR A HEALTHY MEAL
for a child growing up in poverty, ensuring they have a hot meal and don’t go hungry.
£15 PAYS FOR A SPECIALISED TOY
to help a young child with cancer better understand their chemotherapy treatment.
£25 PAYS FOR A DAY OUT
for a child who is living in temporary accommodation to attend a day in a play scheme, to make friends and have fun.
