BBC Children in Need distributes the funds raised each year as grants to organisations that work with disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. They support projects that make a positive difference or change to the lives of children who are disabled, disadvantaged through poverty, neglect or abuse.
The charity allocates grants to registered charities or voluntary and community groups that aim to make a positive difference to children and young people's lives. Grants are targeted at the areas of greatest need, and money is allocated geographically to ensure that children and young people in all corners of the UK receive a balanced share of the money raised.
An average BBC Children in Need grant is around £20,000, although grants can range from as little as £100 to many thousands of pounds. In an average year the appeal distributes around 1,500 grants to organisations across the UK, but receives about twice this number of applications for funding every year. All applications are carefully considered and grants allocated are followed up to ensure they are spent appropriately.
The size and scale of the BBC Children in Need Appeal means that they are able to give grants to smaller organisations that don't have the fundraising infrastructure to raise significant funds for themselves.
