Who you help

We’re there for the UK’s children

At BBC Children in Need we put the money raised by you, our SPOTacular fundraisers and supporters, to work all year round.

Our financial support is committed to funding grassroots organisations and project workers in every corner of the UK, who provide the vital relationships and support to help the children who need us most.

This included supporting children & young people living in poverty, providing emergency support to families in crisis, providing comfort to children feeling sad, lost and alone, helping children overcome social injustice and supporting children to feel safe and secure again.
