Children in Need is an annual show broadcast by the BBC that raises money for charities that help children around the UK.

Last year's appeal raised nearly £51million and it's hoped 2022 will be bigger and better than ever.

Radio DJ Scott Mills is taking on a 24 hour 'Great Scott Tread Mills Challenge' where he'll have to walk, jog or run on a treadmill for an entire day!

Children in Need helps young people in lots of different circumstances, including those in poverty, children with disabilities and illnesses, children who have gone through distress or trauma and those dealing with mental health issues.

The charity's famous appeal programme airs in November each year - this year it's on Friday 18 November - and it features celebrities who take part in challenges and special films showing how the money raised helps children.
