Thank you for taking part in our Annual Children in Need Fundraiser. We took our two Pudsey bears to the Standing Stones in Orkney just a few miles from where we now live. Apologies for the hair styles as that day it was quite windy, like many days!

BBC Children in Need believes every child deserves the chance to thrive. Across the UK, they fund vital projects in local communities that support children facing poverty, mental health struggles, grief and other challenges. Too many children are facing impossible challenges alone.

Right now, BBC Children in Need are only able to fund 1 in 6 organisations needing support. Your donation will fund more of these local people and projects to ensure there’s someone who shows up - someone who listens, supports, and believes in them.
