Children in Need Row 2026 — every metre counts

This November, schools, clubs, gyms and workplaces across the UK are rowing for BBC Children in Need, and for the first time their fundraising is being brought together into one national rowing total.

Between 2 and 13 November they'll be on the indoor rowers: class relays, lunchtime rows, 24-hour challenges and staff-versus-pupils races. Every team's fundraising adds to the national total on the campaign leaderboard.


Your donation here supports two causes at once. 75% goes to BBC Children in Need, helping disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. 25% goes to Love Rowing, the British Rowing Charitable Foundation, which brings rowing to young people from deprived areas and to disabled people who might not otherwise get the chance to try the sport. GiveWheel pays each charity directly.


Our national rowing total will be revealed on Friday 13 November, BBC Children in Need Appeal Day. Thank you for your support.


The Children in Need Row is run by the Indoor Sport League, which organises the Schools Indoor Rowing League, with support from Love Rowing, British Rowing, Concept2 and London Youth Rowing.
