Why fundraise?

When you take on a fundraising activity for BBC Children in Need, you are helping to ensure 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 can leave them carrying burdens that feel too heavy to manage alone. 

Your fundraising means we can continue to fund local charities in every part of the UK to help ensure children have somewhere to turn.
