A shocking new study has revealed that 30% of under-18s across the UK are now affected by poverty, with 1 in 5 parents worried about their child’s worsening mental health too.
Across the UK, essential BBC Children in Need funded projects work to make life lighter for young people.
However, for every one organisation that BBC CiN fund, we’re unable to fund seven other projects. That’s why we’re asking your school to help by taking part in the ‘Challenge Yourself’ campaign so we can support even more young people across the UK.
We fund local charities and projects so, however you fundraise, you’ll be helping to change young lives in the communities where you live.
Find out more about the impact of your fundraising through our statistic, stories and resources below:
