Friday 18<\/span>th<\/span> November sees Children in need return to our screens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But what is it about?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year, the BBC and other partners join a huge fundraising drive to raise money for children\u2019s charities across the UK. This culminates in a BBC TV Appeal show on Friday 18<\/span>th<\/span> November where celebrities come together to provide entertainment, raise funds, and inspire people to donate to the cause by sharing stories of the children the charity supports.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe fund thousands of charities and projects in every corner of the UK, that support children and young people to feel and be safer, have improved mental health and wellbeing, form better, more positive relationships and be given more equal opportunities to flourish.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This blog post will take a little look at the history of Children in Need and how you can watch the action using the University\u2019s subscription to BoB (Box of Broadcasts)!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
