Are you doing something for Children in Need?

Whether it's weird, wacky or you're just baking cakes for your friends, family and workmates, if you're raising money for this important cause then we want to hear from you.

The annual initiative raises money to help children across the UK, including Dorset. The charity's vision is that every child in this country should have a childhood which is safe, happy and secure and allows them the chance to reach their potential.

Children in Need airs on BBC1 this Friday, November 16 from 7.30pm.

If you are fundraising, send in your pictures and details of your event to newsdesk@dorsetecho.co.uk or call 01305 830999.
