91热爆 Children in Need 2007
What your donation could pay for
91热爆 Children in Need funds a diverse range of projects across the UK and people might be surprised by the breadth of work supported.
听
Every organisation that applies for a grant has to clearly demonstrate how their project will change the lives of children and young people for the better.
听
The grant money can fund specific activities (e.g. respite holiday, summer play scheme, musical workshop, or sailing lessons); services (e.g. counselling, advice, supplementary education, youth outreach, mentoring); or can buy something very tangible (e.g. equipment, toys). A grant might also pay the salary of a vital member of staff.
