This year we have teamed up with The One Show, Morning Live and BBC Radio 2 to launch an extra special event- The Challenge Squad.

The epic Challenge Squad is made up of four inspirational young people who have benefitted from BBC Children in Need funding, who will be championed by Jermaine Jenas, Alex Jones, Roman Kemp and Vernon Kay as they undertake incredible personal challenges to help make a difference to young lives.

You can find out more about the Challenge Squad members below, as well as donate, or take on your own fundraising challenge.

Plus this year, every pound you give or raise will be matched pound for pound (up to a value of £1.5M) by Postcode Education Trust, supported through People’s Postcode Lottery
