Why fundraise?

When you take on a fundraising activity for BBC Children in Need, you are helping to make sure no child has to face life's toughest moments alone.

For thousands of children in the UK, challenges are growing. Rising mental health issues, poverty and inequality is leaving many to carry burdens that feel too heavy to manage alone.

Your fundraising means we can continue to support local charities and projects in every part of the UK so that children can have somewhere to turn.
