Say hi to Pudsey and our firefighters on your way past."

BBC's Children in Need began in 1980, with the first show raising £1 million for charities working with children across the UK.

Many more millions have been raised since, including £33.5 million during last year's appeal.

The charity is currently funding nearly 1,500 other charities and children’s projects to the value of £91.5 million, and supported more than 400,000 children in 2022/2023.
