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

That’s why we're fundraising for BBC Children in Need. Children are invited to come to school on this day in their spotty or bright clothing or CIN merchandise!

Your donations will fund local people and projects across the UK that provide vital support to children and young people when they need it most. No child has to face life’s toughest moments alone.

Thank you!
