We’re challenging ourselves to Pudsey’s 300 to help BBC Children in Need make life lighter for children

Starting on Friday 18th October and ending Friday 15th November - We’ll be undertaking a combination of 300 steps, 300 squats, 300 lengths, 300 miles over an exhilarating 4 weeks.

Children across the UK are facing greater challenges than ever, with around 1 in 5 now having a probable mental health condition such as anxiety or depression. They are also experiencing high levels of poverty, leading to inequality and lack of opportunity - and many simply carrying a load that’s too heavy to manage alone. BBC Children in Need believes that every child should have the chance to thrive and be the best they can be. The charity funds project workers and initiatives across the UK - in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There’s at least one within 10 miles of every postcode!

Only with your support can BBC Children in Need be there for the hundreds and thousands of children who need them most, and that’s why we’re undertaking the ultimate fundraising challenge.
