BBC Children in Need Emergency Essentials Programme provides critical support to children and young people in the UK facing severe crises. The programme offers essential items such as beds, cookers, and other necessities to ensure children’s basic needs are met.

Applications must be submitted by registered referrers (e.g., social workers, teachers, health professionals) who can assess the child’s needs and oversee the grant’s use. Referrers can register and apply through the Family Fund Business Services website.
