How much did The Big Night In raise?

On April 23, 2020, for the first time ever, the BBC’s biggest charitable partners, BBC Children In Need and Comic Relief, came together for a special night of television.
The total raised currently stands at £28M.

The three-hour extravaganza was hosted by Davina McCall, Lenny Henry, Matt Baker, Paddy McGuinness and Zoe Ball.

The night featured an array of famous faces who offered some light relief and entertainment whilst celebrating and rewarding those going the extra mile to support their communities in these troubled times.

How will the money raised from The Big Night be spent?

Every penny donated to The Big Night In by the public will be split equally between Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need.

The cash will go to local charities and projects in the UK, so they can continue to provide vital emergency support.

During the night, appeal films looked at the devastating impact that Covid-19 has had on families up and down the country and the vital work partners are doing to help.

The films tackled hunger, domestic violence and isolation and showed how everyday heroes are stepping up to get medicines and food to those who can’t leave the house.
