THE ISSUES YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FACING:
For many children and young people across the UK, challenges are growing.
Rising mental health issues, poverty, inequality and limited opportunities can all take their toll, leaving some young people carrying burdens that feel too heavy to manage on their own.
THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR FUNDRAISING:
In youth clubs, family centres, community spaces, refuges, homeless shelters, hospices and helplines, our projects are building the vital, positive relationships young people need to thrive.
Every young person, wherever they live, deserves someone by their side. Someone who listens, supports and believes in them.
Take on a fundraising challenge for BBC Children in Need and make a difference for young people just like you.
