Children in Need - £1m A Million & Me Award

A Million & Me was BBC Children in Need’s £10m fund, dedicated to supporting children and young people with their emotional wellbeing and mental health. A Million & Me funded projects across the UK, locally and digitally, enabling children aged 8-13 to be supported in positive relationships among their peers, parents, carers and trusted adults in their lives.

The A Million & Me Award aims to build on the Power of the Ordinary report and:

• Encourage innovative and large-scale creative solutions for early intervention. These will focus on children who are beginning to struggle with their mental health, but do not yet have an embedded clinical condition. BBC Children in Need are particularly interested in programmes which involve a large digital element.
• In light of the many challenges in recent years, the award aims to generate tangible, scalable change that recognises the continued distress many children and families are facing.
• Provide targeted support to children aged 8-13, particularly those from marginalised communities.
• Disseminate resources, focusing on language, confidence and capacity building designed to encourage positive conversations and opportunities for children.
• Contribute to parents and trusted adults’ awareness of the importance of the ‘everyday magic’ of ordinary, positive relationships.

Please note that you must attend an online information session, after which you will be invited to apply.
