CHILDREN IN NEED CONFIRMS SCHEDULE FOR 2024 FUNDRAISER

BBC Children in Need returns with a live entertainment extravaganza of comedy, music and surprise guests to raise life-changing funds for children and young people across the UK.

Live from Salford, Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Rochelle Humes, Vernon Kay, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush present a jam-packed evening of sketches and performances featuring well-known faces as you have never seen them before.

On the night, Paddy McGuinness will find out the total raised by his Radio 2 Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge, which will see him cycle through three nations and eight counties in aid of BBC Children in Need’s 2024 appeal.

Money raised during the 2024 appeal will help BBC Children in Need to continue working in communities across the four nations, funding amazing people in family centres, community spaces, youth clubs and refuges; homeless shelters, hospices and helplines. This year, BBC Children in Need is asking the public to make life lighter for children all across the UK.

Throughout the night, appeal films will feature some of the children and young people whose lives have been changed through the support of BBC Children in Need, and the project workers who work tirelessly to help them. The need has never been greater as the charity is only able to fund 1 in 8 of the organisations who ask for money.

Children In Need airs Friday 15th November from 7pm on BBC One.
