Every year, Busy Bees nurseries across the UK come together to support BBC Children in Need. 💛

Through fundraising, donations, and community events, we're helping give children the support they need to thrive.

Why it matters

Too many children across the UK are facing life's toughest moments alone - living in poverty, struggling with their mental health, or without someone in their corner.

• Over half (55%) of young people say they frequently feel anxious

• 1 in 4 children in the UK (4 million) are living in poverty

• 7 in 10 of those children live in working families

BBC Children in Need funds people and projects across the UK - youth clubs, counselling, food banks, mentoring - helping children get support when they need it most.

What your donation could do

• £2 - a healthy hot meal for a child

• £4 - an emotional wellbeing session for a young person

• £10 - a fortnight of nappies and wipes for a toddler in temporary accommodation

• £15 - a specialised toy to help a child with cancer understand their treatment

• £30 - a welcome pack of clothes, toiletries and books for a child arriving in emergency accommodation

• £100 - a play therapy session with a specialist counsellor

Get involved

Every donation, big or small, helps a child get the support they deserve. Thank you for supporting our fundraising for BBC Children in Need.
