Information
on BBC Children in Need
The UK's best loved bear and the help he gives to millions
Since 1980 BBC Children in Need has raised over £400 million
for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.
This year's appeal night, on Friday 17th November, is promising
to be bigger and better than ever! Sir Terry Wogan, Natasha
Kaplinsky, Fearne Cotton and, of course, Pudsey Bear host
the star-studded extravaganza which regularly pulls in over
11 million viewers. Last year's total was a phenomenal £33.2
million which was distributed to over 1500 voluntary organisations
and registered charities across the country.
From Shetland to St Helier, all BBC TV Regions and Radio Stations
pull together in this massive fundraising effort. Every single
penny donated to the appeal goes directly to help a child
or young person in need. All year round the team of grant
officers and assessors work to ensure that donations go to
projects and causes that will make a real difference. From
funding the salary for a vital trained trauma counsellor to
buying a valuable piece of equipment for a group of children
with severe disabilities, every pound the public give is targeted
to where it's needed most.
Each year the public make it possible for BBC Children In
Need to provide practical and lasting support to thousands
of youngsters, including those who have experienced homelessness,
neglect, abuse or poverty and those who have encountered serious
illnesses, disabilities, psychological disorders or addictions.
From sponsored silences to marathon runs, the BBC's Charity
would not be possible without the incredible support of the
general public. This year's theme of Make It Count is already
capturing the imagination of schools, workplaces and community
groups up and down the country as they pull out all the stops
for Pudsey.
BBC Children in Need are thrilled to have the support of BBC
Three for this year's appeal and thank all those involved
in Celebrity Scissorhands for raising thousands of pounds
for a great cause.
