Children in Need 2023

So many of you joined in and made this a resounding success and we can't thank you enough for your support and generosity - not forgetting the heat organisers, the dealers and everyone who made it happen. The grand total for 2023 is £68,938.15 ! How wonderful is that !

As you will see the results are now final and the files have been sent off to your Home Unions for them to allocate the master points - don't be impatient please - there's a lot involved, and they may not appear on your record for a while. But you can see from the file on the website how many you have been awarded - the file for each day is called Final Results and lists the points - just go to this page and you will see it for each day

Again - thank you all - you are truly amazing !
