BBC Children in Need is back for a three-hour show broadcast live from MediaCity UK in Salford. Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Rochelle Humes, Vernon Kay, Chris Ramsey and Lenny Rush will present an evening of sketches and performances featuring well-known faces.

Money raised during the 2024 appeal will help BBC Children in Need to continue working in communities across the four nations, funding people in family centres, community spaces, youth clubs and refuges; homeless shelters, hospices and helplines.

Throughout the night, appeal films will feature some of the children and young people whose lives have been changed through the support of BBC Children in Need, and the project workers who work to help them.
