Photos from Children in Need 2017

Contact centres across the country answered calls from Children in Need, taking thousands of pounds of donations to help make a difference to children and young people. Other call centres raised money through bake sales and fancy dress. Check out the stories and photos below.

Children in Need #FunDayFriday #AscensosFundraisers

We had a sea of yellow and spots at Ascensos today as we celebrated Children in Need! What an effort from our teams in #Motherwell, #Clydebank and #IsleofWight!

Well done to all of our lucky colleagues who won our raffle prizes and a massive THANK YOU to all of our fabulous cake bakers for all of their time and effort supporting such a worthwhile cause! #CiN

“Tonight one of our call centres has had a Pudsey transformation as we take YOUR calls for Children in Need. We’ve got 200 volunteers on hand to take your donations.”

Whilst our Severn Trent volunteers work through the evening until 1am, it’s important they take a break – thanks to @Darkskys66 for providing some light hearted fun with your magic mirror! #BBCCiN #ChildrenInNeed

Did you know @BBCCiN helped over 86,000 children across central England last year? Pudsey Bear has been in our region to Worcester Snoezelen, a multi-sensory centre for children with severe learning disabilities which is supported by #ChildrenInNeed #cin
