Charity
2024 charity collection
A collection was held at the UK tech awards 2024 in support of BBC Children in Need and BCCS. The total amount raised, which was shared equally between these two charities, was:
£11,050
BBC Children in Need believes that every child should have the chance to thrive.
The charity makes sure there’s someone able to give food, clothes and beds to a child living without; someone qualified to talk to a child who is anxious, isolated or grieving; someone trained to mentor teenagers in communities facing inequality or violence; someone to be there for children living with serious illness or a disability.
We are asking you to help make life lighter for children.
BCCS is an established children's charity that delivers vital mental health and emotional wellbeing services across East London.
The charity works to improve the lives and life chances of children and young people by offering a wide range of highly professional support and advice services for issues such as anxiety, self-harm, bullying, bereavement, parental separation and family conflict.
The charity’s unique approach is to intervene as soon as problems are identified and work with the child and their family for as long as it takes to put things right.
