At BBC Children in Need, we look to where the need is greatest. Our ambition is to create real and lasting change across the UK for the children and young people who need us most.

We work closely with a whole range of organisations so we can understand where the need is greatest, ensuring the money you raise goes to supporting the young people that need us most.

We fund over 2,500 local charities and projects which directly support children and young people in communities right across the UK and support children and young people affected by a whole range of disadvantages such as poverty, disability, illness, distress or trauma.

With your support, every child and young person can have the opportunity to thrive and be the best they can be.
