Cooper had a sore leg on Saturday, went into nursery on Monday struggling to walk and was diagnosed with Leukaemia the next day. He’s halfway through 3 years of treatment and a BBC Children in Need funded project supports him with play therapy.

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 are fundraising for BBC Children in Need.

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!
