From sharing smiles to helping in our communities, our children are learning the power of caring and giving. Every donation helps us support BBC Children in Need and spread a little more kindness, one buzz at a time. 💛

Right now, too many children across the UK are facing life’s toughest moments alone. Many are living in poverty, with mental health struggles, grief, a disability, or growing up in communities impacted by violence. Every child deserves to thrive and for someone who shows up for them.

BBC Children in Need funds people and projects across the UK that provide vital support to children and young people when they need it most. From youth clubs and counselling services to food banks and mentoring programmes, these projects help children feel seen, heard, and supported.

It has never been more important for your nursery to get involved.
