BBC Children in Need

Year on year, Children in Need raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for disadvantaged youngsters in the UK.

So far, the BBC's charity has raised over £600 million, through fabulous fundraising events and generous donations.

Every November, the Children in Need appeal show takes place, broadcasting a whole evening of entertainment with many celebrities participating in live performances in order to raise awareness and plenty of money for the cause.

This year, the appeal show is today, and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Along with tuning in tonight, check out the BBC Children in Need website to find out what's going on in your local area and how you can get involved in fund raising yourself.
