BBC Children in Need Changes
From now all applications will only be accepted exclusively online. Children in Need give grants for projects delivered by organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people, who must be 18 years and under, living in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
Disadvantages experienced by children and young people include: Illness, distress, abuse or neglect; Any kind of disability; Behavioural or psychological difficulties; Living in poverty or situations of deprivation.
The application should focus on the children your project will work with and the differences that your project will make for them. You should clearly be able to demonstrate how your project will change the lives of the children involved for the better. Where possible it should take into account their views and involve them in decisions that affect them.
You can contact them by Email:
pudsey@bbc.co.uk or Helpdesk Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm Tel: 020 8576 7788. New application deadline dates will be 15 April, 15 July and 15 October 2009. There has also been a switch to online applications. Full guidance and application forms are available on Website:
