Children in Need 2026: ride, raffle and donate

  • Post published:

This November we’re raising money for BBC Children in Need, and there are a few easy ways to get involved: join our fundraising ride this Sunday, pick up a strip of raffle tickets at the Hub, or donate online. Every pound goes to supporting children and young people across the UK.

Fundraising ride: Sunday 15 November

Join us as together we try to cycle 400 loops of the field, matching Owain Wyn Evans on Radio 2 as he cycles 400 miles around the UK. Every loop counts towards the total, so come along, do as many as you like and help us get there.

  • When: Sunday 15 November, 1pm to 3pm
  • Where: Watford Cycle Hub, Chaffinch Lane (off Tolpits Lane), Watford WD18 9QD
  • Entry: £2, cash on the day
  • Dress code: wear yellow or spots and join in the fun!

How it looked last time

Plenty of mud, lots of smiles and a hand-drawn map tracking our progress all the way to Pudsey. Here are a few photos from our last Children in Need ride.

Children in Need raffle

We’re also running a raffle, with prizes kindly donated by Madison:

  • Children’s cycling jackets (age 9 to 11)
  • Children’s cycling gloves
  • Bike bells

Tickets are £1 for a strip of five, ideally cash. Pick them up at the Hub from now and throughout next week, with the draw planned for Friday 20 November.

Raffle prizes donated by Madison: children's jackets, gloves and bike bells

Can’t make it? Donate online

If you can’t get down to the Hub, you can still support us by donating to our Children in Need fundraising page. Thank you to everyone who rides, buys a ticket or donates. It all adds up!
