BBC Children in Need’s Challenge Yourself 2026 invites everyone to fundraise their way — from baking and dressing up in spots to taking on a sponsored challenge. This year, the number 26 provides inspiration: choose a favourite activity to do 26 times or create your own unique fundraiser!  

Why not invite the children at your club to suggest a challenge they would enjoy? You could try 26 dance moves or work together to make 26 spotty creations. Keep participation optional and inclusive, so everyone can join in without pressure to donate.  

For more inspiration, explore ‘Pudsey’s Family Scavenger Hunt’, which challenges families to spot 26 discoveries outdoors, or do the ‘Strictly 26 Step Dance Challenge’. Visit the BBC Children in Need fundraising page for ideas, downloadable resources and details of how to sign up.
