Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

From the very first Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need on radio in 1927, money raised has been used to help disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.

Last year's appeal raised over Β£33 million and every penny of this goes to projects helping those disadvantaged youngsters.

The charity operates all year round, and because of the size and scale of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need appeal, they are able to help hundreds of different organisations, some of which are very small and don't have the resources to fundraise for themselves.

Thirsk Clock receive their grant.

In 2006 two projects in North Yorkshire benefited from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need Grants.

The Clock in Thirsk is a youth work charity and they received a grant of Β£112,569 spread over 3 years. The money covers the salary of a full time personal adviser and ongoing running costs and activities.

Hob Moor Fun Club receive their grant.

Hob Moor Fun Club is an after school club operating from Hob Moor Children's Centre in York. They received a grant of Β£15,088 from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children In Need to employ additional playworkers to support children with special needs, so they can attend the club.

The money raised every year by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Children in Need is there to be used, you just have to apply for it!

Thirsk Clock and Hob Moor Fun Club both applied and look what they're doing now...
