Castlehill Primary Children in Need

Campbeltown’s Castlehill primary seven kids are helping Children in Need.

BBC Children in Need has raised more than £840 million to help the lives of young people and disabled children around the UK since it started in 1980. Each year The Campbeltown Courier asks a local school to nominate a class to draw pictures of local businesses which feature on our Children in Need page, with 20 per cent of the advertising proceeds donated to the charity event. This year primary seven in Castlehill Primary School, Campbeltown, drew the fantastic pictures below and we would like to thank them and the businesses featured for supporting Children in Need.

This year’s appeal show will take place on Friday November 18 live from the BBC’s Elstree Studios on BBC One. The presenters will guide viewers through a fantastic night of television whilst raising millions of pounds for Children in Need. BBC Children in Need’s vision is that every child in the UK has a safe, happy and secure childhood and the chance to reach their potential. This vision will be realised by supporting, promoting and publicising work that addresses the challenges that children and young people face and work that builds their skills and resilience.

The charity is currently supporting 2,400 projects across the UK. These grants help children facing a range of disadvantages for example, poverty and deprivation; children who have been the victims of abuse or neglect or disabled young people.
