Every year, we take part in BBC's Children in Need fundraising day to help make positive and lasting change to children and young people across the UK. 

BBC Children in Need 2026 will take place on Friday, November 20, uniting the UK to support disadvantaged children and young people.

Children in Need is an annual charity appeal run by the BBC, aimed at ensuring every child in the UK is safe, happy, and has opportunities to thrive National Today. The 2026 telethon will be held on Friday, November 20, with schools, workplaces, and communities often organizing fundraising activities in the surrounding weeks. The appeal raises vital funds to support children facing challenges such as poverty, disability, illness, trauma, and mental health difficulties.
