Children in NeedEach year in Britain, there is a special charity event called Children in Need. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) first organized this event on December 25, 1927, as a way to raise money for disadvantaged British children. Back then, a short radio broadcast appealed for donations and they managed to raise £1,143, which they divided between four children’s charities. 1 In fact, people say that Children in Need has become part of the British identity.Children in Need raise money that helps children with many different types of problems. 2 They collect these funds in a number of different ways. For one, people can donate money over the phone. Also, many British people hold their own fundraising events. 3 Examples include: dressing up, doing an extreme sport, or simply holding a bake sale. Then, these people collect donations from their family, friends and co-workers.The BBC now holds Children in Need in November and many celebrities appear on the show and appeal to the general public to donate. 4 Also during the show, there are documentary videos about the charities that the event helps, as well as funny videos with famous comedians! People can call the Children in Need phone lines at any time during the show to donate money. Then, at the end of the night, they announce a grand total. 5 But the event is not only about collecting funds.
