Everything raised by the appeal will be split equally between Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need – and used to fund local charities and projects in the UK, helping vulnerable people who’ve been most affected by the crisis2.
BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief have come together as part of The Big Night In Appeal
The Big Night In, screened on BBC One in April, celebrated the hope, bravery and kindness we’re witnessing in these unprecedented times.
We’ve donated £1 million to The Big Night In Appeal to match the donations you’ve already made through the link below1.
