BBC Children In Need

The Appeal, which has been running since 1980, is the BBC’s charity for disadvantaged children and young people. The funds are raised through an annual appeal and are managed by its trustees.

What is the funding for?
The appeal gives grants to organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people who must be under 18 years and resident in the U.K. Their disadvantages should include illness, distress, abuse or neglect, any kind of disability, behavioural or psychological problems, poverty and deprivation. Proposed projects should demonstrate how they will change the lives of children for the better. The project must be totally focussed on children and where possible should take into account the children’s views during the decision making process. One year grants are only given for capital projects, seasonal projects such as holiday play schemes and equipment and welfare funds.

How much money is available?
BBC Children in Need rarely give amounts of over £25,000 a year, and most grants are for smaller amounts.

Who can apply?
Applications are welcome from properly constituted, non-profit making organisations which may be self help groups, voluntary organisations or registered charities.

When to apply
There are two closing dates each year: 30th March and 30th November. Applicants may submit only one application on either of these deadlines.
