A Million and 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. These enabled children aged 8-13 to be supported in positive relationships among their peers, parents, carers and trusted adults in their lives.

Following the success of A Million & Me funded projects and the programme’s evaluation by Centre for Mental Health (Power of the Ordinary), we are looking to award £1m for implementation of the learnings and to enable early intervention support to children across the UK.

BBC Children in Need has partnered with Health Foundation and Impact on Urban Health to award this £1m.

BBC Children in Need are hosting two online information sessions on Friday 20th October and Wednesday 25th October. These sessions, held via Zoom, will provide you with further details about the A Million and Me Award and offer you the chance to ask any questions.

Please note: 
1) You must sign up to and attend one of the two information sessions in order to apply for the A Million & Me Award. You do not need to attend more than one of the sessions. 

2) Once you have received the confirmation email, you must click on the Zoom link and register for the information session. We recommend you do this at least 24 hours before the event. 

3) After you have attended an information session, you will receive an email containing a link inviting you to submit an application.

4) Please register for this event using the same email address that you intend to submit your application from. We will not be able to send the application link to a different email address.
