0:03:59 > 0:04:01# You're like a dream come true

0:04:04 > 0:04:08# But if by chance you're here alone

0:04:09 > 0:04:11# Can I have a moment

0:04:13 > 0:04:15# Before I go?

0:04:18 > 0:04:23# Because I've been by myself all night long

0:04:23 > 0:04:25# Hoping you were someone

0:04:26 > 0:04:28# I used to know

0:04:30 > 0:04:33# You look like a movie

0:04:33 > 0:04:36# You sound like a song

0:04:36 > 0:04:39# My God, this reminds me

0:04:39 > 0:04:42# Of when we were young

0:04:44 > 0:04:47# Let me photograph you in this light

0:04:47 > 0:04:50# In case it is the last time

0:04:50 > 0:04:55# That we might be exactly like we were

0:04:55 > 0:04:57# Before we realised

0:04:57 > 0:05:00# We were sad of getting old

0:05:00 > 0:05:03# It made us restless

0:05:03 > 0:05:06# It was just like a movie

0:05:07 > 0:05:09# It was just like a song

0:05:12 > 0:05:16# I was so scared to face my fears

0:05:17 > 0:05:19# Cos nobody told me

0:05:20 > 0:05:22# That you'd be here

0:05:25 > 0:05:29# And I swear that you'd moved overseas

0:05:30 > 0:05:34# Cos that's what you said

0:05:34 > 0:05:36# When you left me

0:05:37 > 0:05:40# You still look like a movie

0:05:40 > 0:05:44# You still sound like a song

0:05:44 > 0:05:47# My God, this reminds me

0:05:47 > 0:05:51# Of when we were young

0:05:51 > 0:05:55# Let me photograph you in this light

0:05:55 > 0:05:58# In case it is the last time

0:05:58 > 0:06:03# That we might be exactly like we were

0:06:03 > 0:06:05# Before we realised

0:06:05 > 0:06:07# We were sad of getting old

0:06:07 > 0:06:11# It made us restless

0:06:11 > 0:06:14# It was just like a movie

0:06:14 > 0:06:17# It was just like a song

0:06:19 > 0:06:22# When we were young

0:06:22 > 0:06:24# When we were young

0:06:25 > 0:06:28# When we were young

0:06:28 > 0:06:32# When we were young

0:06:32 > 0:06:35# It's hard to win me back

0:06:35 > 0:06:38# Everything just takes me back

0:06:38 > 0:06:41# To when you were there

0:06:42 > 0:06:44# To when you were there

0:06:45 > 0:06:49# And a part of me keeps holding on

0:06:49 > 0:06:52# Just in case I was wrong

0:06:52 > 0:06:55# I still care

0:06:56 > 0:06:58# Do you still care?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00# It was just like a movie

0:07:00 > 0:07:05# It was just like a song

0:07:05 > 0:07:08# My God, this reminds me

0:07:08 > 0:07:15# Of when we were young

0:07:15 > 0:07:18# When we were young

0:07:18 > 0:07:22# When we were young

0:07:22 > 0:07:24# When we were young

0:07:24 > 0:07:29# Oh, let me photograph you in this light

0:07:29 > 0:07:32# In case it is the last time

0:07:32 > 0:07:37# That we might be exactly like we were

0:07:37 > 0:07:39# Before we realised

0:07:39 > 0:07:42# We were sad of getting old

0:07:42 > 0:07:46# It made us restless

0:07:46 > 0:07:49# Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old

0:07:49 > 0:07:52# It makes me reckless

0:07:52 > 0:07:55# It was just like a movie

0:07:56 > 0:07:59# It was just like a song

0:07:59 > 0:08:03# When we were young. #

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Thank you, Eamonn.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11The Digital Makers In The Community project aims to develop

0:08:11 > 0:08:15and encourage skills in film-making, animation and music.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's organised by the Nerve Centre in Derry,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20a well-known creative hub.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23The scheme focuses on young people in rural areas of the north-west,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26including Strabane, Limavady and Castlederg,

0:08:26 > 0:08:30places young people may not have as much access to technology

0:08:30 > 0:08:32or opportunities as those in the city.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47Oh!

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Think about your story.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I heard some of you talking about the story so that was really good.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Thanks to funding from Children In Need,

0:08:56 > 0:09:00the Nerve Centre is delivering an exciting programme of digital skills

0:09:00 > 0:09:02to some of the most disadvantaged areas in Northern Ireland.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07The team from the Nerve Centre bring their technical expertise out

0:09:07 > 0:09:08into the community.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Today it's film-making.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13First up, an introduction to animation.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15The project currently working in Castlederg is

0:09:15 > 0:09:20a mini programme of bite-size activities for the junior age group,

0:09:20 > 0:09:24giving them an intro into film-making, gaming,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26digital fabrication

0:09:26 > 0:09:27and music.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

0:09:30 > 0:09:32It gives them a taste of each.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34They can really spark off that interest and passion.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38For our budding film-makers, it's a lot of fun.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43We are making a short movie. We have wee characters.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47We put them in and tech capture and they become part of the movie.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50You have to take piles of wee photos.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52PARP!

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Who did that?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh, sorry, it was me!

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Maybe in a couple of years I can be a director.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02I'd be an actress.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06In the Nerve Centre's headquarters in Derry, another group make

0:10:06 > 0:10:08a spooky movie.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11An old-fashioned technique given a modern twist.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14We're using characters and backdrops cut out of card.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17The kids go behind the screen and they come up with

0:10:17 > 0:10:19a story and they make those characters move.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22It's like a shadow puppet theatre.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Whoo! Pretty scary stuff. But it still needs a little something.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Dracula!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31After they edit the footage together,

0:10:31 > 0:10:33we have to add some sounds in.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Frankenstein.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35DISTORTED: Frankenstein.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38So they create sound effects using chains,

0:10:38 > 0:10:40packets of crisps, things like that.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42They bring it into their movie.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Digital programmes like this, I think, are essential.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52These technologies really empower the children,

0:10:52 > 0:10:56being able to create their own digital outputs

0:10:56 > 0:10:58but also gaining new skills.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03The skills we hope to bring out, really focus around creativity...

0:11:04 > 0:11:07..innovation, self-awareness and self belief.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13And really just a confidence in themselves.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19And it's a chance to get a behind-the-scenes peek at the

0:11:19 > 0:11:20magic of movie-making.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25It's something I really enjoy doing,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29getting out into communities and seeing the difference these

0:11:29 > 0:11:32programmes make with the young kids.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34It really makes my job enjoyable.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39I would love to be able to expand it and deliver it further afield,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42providing more opportunities for young people.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Great stuff.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50All you budding young film-makers out there, and indeed all

0:11:50 > 0:11:53our young viewers, settle back, get a load of this,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57it's Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59with a very spellbinding tale.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- a trans-dimensional vessel such as the TARDIS?- What?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Might be because I spilt my banana milkshake on the console.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07- This is Ballymoney...- In County Antrim.- Welcome to Dalriada School.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Welcome to Our Lady and St Patrick's College, Knock.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27# Some times in our lives

0:23:27 > 0:23:30# We all have pain

0:23:30 > 0:23:33# We all have sorrow... #

0:23:34 > 0:23:37St Patrick's may be a small school,

0:23:37 > 0:23:41but they have big voices and are worthy winners of Radio Ulster's

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Junior School Choir Of The Year 2016.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47# Lean on me

0:23:47 > 0:23:50# When you're not strong

0:23:50 > 0:23:53# I'll be your friend

0:23:53 > 0:23:56# I'll help you carry on... #

0:23:56 > 0:24:01I like the song because it's about people saying I'll be your friend

0:24:01 > 0:24:04and you can lean on me and it's uplifting.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06# Somebody to lean on... #

0:24:06 > 0:24:10And this choir's singing proved to be music to the judges' ears, too.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15Dalriada were awarded Radio Ulster's Senior School Choir title.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18# To lean on... #

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Being part of Children In Need is absolutely amazing.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25It makes you feel so proud that you're doing something you love

0:24:25 > 0:24:27just to help others.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29# To lean on. #

0:24:29 > 0:24:32# Some times in our lives... #

0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's been a few years since Carrickfergus Grammar School

0:24:34 > 0:24:38choir were involved in Children In Need, so a big welcome back to them.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41# But, if we are wise

0:24:41 > 0:24:43# We know that there's

0:24:43 > 0:24:47# Always tomorrow

0:24:47 > 0:24:52# Lean on me when you're not strong

0:24:52 > 0:24:54# I'll be your friend

0:24:54 > 0:24:58# I'll help you carry on... #

0:24:58 > 0:25:01I think a lot of us are really empowered by the song,

0:25:01 > 0:25:02it's a very good song.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Just the tone of it is very uplifting,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06it's very loud and energetic.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09# Somebody to lean on... #

0:25:09 > 0:25:13The best part of being involved in Children In Need is being able

0:25:13 > 0:25:16to spread happiness and make a difference for children who

0:25:16 > 0:25:18aren't as fortunate as ourselves.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20# To lean on. #

0:25:20 > 0:25:22One, two, three... And...

0:25:22 > 0:25:24- # You just call - Call on me, brother... #

0:25:24 > 0:25:28- And again.- And not letting first-time appearance nerves affect

0:25:28 > 0:25:31their singing, Our Lady and St Patrick's College, Knock,

0:25:31 > 0:25:32are in fine voice, too.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36# We all need somebody to lean on

0:25:36 > 0:25:42# I just might have a problem that you'll understand

0:25:42 > 0:25:47# We all need somebody to lean on

0:25:47 > 0:25:49# Lean on me

0:25:49 > 0:25:52# When you're not strong

0:25:52 > 0:25:55# I'll be your friend

0:25:55 > 0:25:59# I'll help you carry on... #

0:25:59 > 0:26:02It's a really nice song and it's got a really nice meaning,

0:26:02 > 0:26:06so I think they'll like hearing it and maybe they'll take it

0:26:06 > 0:26:10and they'll actually know that that's a really nice cause and

0:26:10 > 0:26:13it's a nice song, so I think they'll really like it.

0:26:13 > 0:26:18I think they'll be very shocked that children our age are able to be on

0:26:18 > 0:26:21TV and do it for a good cause,

0:26:21 > 0:26:25so they'd be quite proud that we are doing it for them.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28And we are. Proud of you all!

0:26:28 > 0:26:32# Need somebody to lean on

0:26:32 > 0:26:35- # I just might - Might have a problem

0:26:37 > 0:26:39# We all need... #

0:26:39 > 0:26:41All that hard work in rehearsal paid off.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46and the roof with the song Lean On Me -

0:31:29 > 0:31:33watching the TV show on the Friday night, sitting and watching it,

0:31:33 > 0:31:37and then, now, we won't be able to watch it this time cos we're

0:31:37 > 0:31:42on it and it makes me just feel privileged to be given the chance.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45To be given the chance to get involved and have some fun.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Being part of Children In Need is absolutely amazing.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53It makes you feel so proud that you're doing something you

0:31:53 > 0:31:57love just to help others, and you're enjoying it at the same time,

0:31:57 > 0:32:00so it's absolutely amazing.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Being part of Children In Need makes me feel very happy because I

0:32:03 > 0:32:07know that I am making children's lives better across the UK.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Almost 200 projects are supported by BBC Children In Need here

0:32:15 > 0:32:18in Northern Ireland, helping children who are dealing with

0:32:18 > 0:32:22challenges in their lives to have a bit of fun, a good childhood.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Children who've been bereaved, children who have been abused,

0:32:25 > 0:32:29neglected, or are living in poverty, or children who have disabilities.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54lots of children that don't have really good chances,

0:33:07 > 0:33:11- Pudsey headbands and stuff in the shops and you're like, "Oh, it's time."- Yeah.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Let's raise lots!

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Ladies and gentlemen, you're very welcome to the Elk, where we're

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Keeping It Country for Children In Need.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07One man who's efforts require a little bit more skill is Paul from

0:35:07 > 0:35:09the Belfast Community Circus School.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13- And, Paul, you've been balancing to raise some money.- That's right, yes.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16I've been with the Circus School for approximately 30 years now,

0:35:16 > 0:35:20teaching around about 500 young people on a weekly basis how to ride

0:35:20 > 0:35:22unicycles, juggle and stilt walk.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24And what have you been doing to raise money for Children In Need?

0:35:24 > 0:35:27We've been running our weekly classes and some of our young

0:35:27 > 0:35:29people have been bringing in buns and cakes and

0:35:29 > 0:35:32doing sponsored walks and sponsored unicycle rides,

0:35:32 > 0:35:35- just everything that you do to raise money.- Have you raised much so far?

0:35:35 > 0:35:38We're still counting but it's going to be a substantial amount.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Tell us about the skills you're teaching kids.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Well, a range of circus skills. Most of them you'll have seen on TV.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45So, most of them will be in our circus skill building,

0:35:45 > 0:35:49others will be in outreach projects, community centres all across the north of Ireland.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52Acrobatics, unicycling, stilt walking, trapeze, tightrope walking,

0:35:52 > 0:35:55all those skills we're performing in our circus school and teaching.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58- So it literally does affect lots of kids.- Absolutely.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00There's a huge amount of benefits to learning circus.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04They have a real sense of belonging, being part of our circus family and get an incredible amount of

0:36:04 > 0:36:07social skills, and it's keeping them fit and healthy.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12You know, when people come to this part of the world

0:36:12 > 0:36:14they can't help but be charmed by our warm welcome,

0:36:14 > 0:36:19the beauty of our countryside and, in this case, our generosity.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Our colleague, BBC Countryfile's John Craven, travelled

0:36:22 > 0:36:25to the north coast recently to take part in a Children In Need ramble.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27A great walk for a great cause.

0:36:31 > 0:36:37Millions of years in the making, shaped by elemental forces.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast is a landscape of rare beauty.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45It's also the destination for my Countryfile Ramble

0:36:45 > 0:36:48- in aid of Children In Need. - Yeah!

0:36:48 > 0:36:49Let's go!

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Our ramble leads us along the edge of the Antrim Plateau,

0:37:00 > 0:37:03with its unique basalt columns.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05A route of nearly three miles,

0:37:05 > 0:37:08ending at the world-famous Giant's Causeway.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14- You a rambler?- No, I'm not.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17So you have actually maybe started something for me.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Many of our ramblers travelled long distances to get here

0:37:23 > 0:37:27and they're raising money to support charities close to their hearts.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- How's it going, Zara? - It's not too bad, so it's not.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Are you enjoying it? - I am, yeah. It's lovely here.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Because you suffer from quite severe arthritis, don't you?- Yeah.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Is this painful for you, doing a walk like this?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Not at the minute, but it'll probably hit in the morning.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Keep taking a little break and you should be all right.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Yeah, I'll be fine.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Around ten million people in the UK have arthritis

0:37:52 > 0:37:54and 12,000 of them are children.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58It affects all ages and Zara was just 11 years old

0:37:58 > 0:38:00when she was first diagnosed.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Usually when you first tell people that you have arthritis,

0:38:10 > 0:38:14their immediate response would be, "Oh, my granny has that."

0:38:15 > 0:38:19I was first diagnosed with arthritis when I was 11.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21It's recommended by the physiotherapist that I do

0:38:21 > 0:38:24daily exercises to strengthen my joints and muscles.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29I have arthritis in my two knees and my two wrists,

0:38:29 > 0:38:31and it also affected the growth of my jaw.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37When I start to walk after not walking for a while,

0:38:37 > 0:38:40it feels like I'm walking on pebbles or stones,

0:38:40 > 0:38:43which can make walking a bit more uncomfortable.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47I sort of feel like I'm holding my friends back sometimes

0:38:47 > 0:38:50when we're out, but they're very understanding, so they are.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57But Zara isn't letting arthritis dominate her life.

0:38:57 > 0:38:58She's taking control.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04She's been helped by Arthritis Care,

0:39:04 > 0:39:06a charity part funded by Children In Need,

0:39:06 > 0:39:09that runs events for young people with arthritis

0:39:09 > 0:39:11as well as offering online support.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Meeting other young people with arthritis was really beneficial

0:39:16 > 0:39:21to me because I didn't really know anyone else who had arthritis.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24We're able to share different coping methods and different

0:39:24 > 0:39:26ways it affects people.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29There is no cure for arthritis, unfortunately,

0:39:29 > 0:39:33so what we're trying to do is help young people feel less

0:39:33 > 0:39:36isolated and hopefully feel more confident about their future.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42We try a bunch of different activities,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45just completely different from what I'd normally do.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47She has just grown and grown as a person.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50You know, I'm delighted to see the young adult

0:39:50 > 0:39:52that she's turned into today.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57With Zara's determination and positive approach,

0:39:57 > 0:40:00it's no wonder she's joined the first-ever

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Children In Need youth panel.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05And some of her friends from it joined us on the ramble.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Why did you want to be involved in the youth panel, Zara?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10It's such a worthwhile opportunity that came about.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13There's so many different organisations across

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Northern Ireland that don't really get a say.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19Children In Need have been a great help for Arthritis Care and I don't

0:40:19 > 0:40:22know how far along the organisation would have been without it.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30As we descend what's called the Shepherd's Steps to sea level,

0:40:30 > 0:40:33we're tantalisingly close to the main attraction...

0:40:36 > 0:40:39..the awe-inspiring vista of the Giant's Causeway.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44People come here from across the world

0:40:44 > 0:40:47to marvel at this jewel of the Antrim coast.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54These towering columns have inspired many legends,

0:40:54 > 0:40:58like the one about a giant striding out across the sea,

0:40:58 > 0:41:01leaving behind one of his huge boots.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04- How many stones are there? - 44,000 columns.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Wow!

0:41:05 > 0:41:09Area ranger Dr Cliff Henry has the factual story

0:41:09 > 0:41:12about how these unique rock formations came to exist.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15They were formed by volcanic eruption.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17By the laws of physics, under great strain,

0:41:17 > 0:41:19rocks will always form in sort of hexagonal patterns.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22How many people come here to see them?

0:41:22 > 0:41:25It's probably getting towards a million people a year now.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27- Plus our little team, as well. - Oh, yeah.

0:41:30 > 0:41:34And so our exhilarating walk draws to an end.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36And what finer place to celebrate our efforts

0:41:36 > 0:41:39than here at one of the greatest natural wonders

0:41:39 > 0:41:40of the British Isles.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Thank you all very much indeed, on behalf of Children In Need,

0:41:46 > 0:41:49for taking part in our Giant's Causeway ramble.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Well done! Thank you!

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Thank you so much for your generosity.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02And here are some of the ways

0:42:02 > 0:42:06you've been raising our much-needed donations.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16OK, guys, we're going to make some more scones.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Do your thing!

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Pudsey's here.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11- ALL:- We love Pudsey!

0:43:15 > 0:43:19- We have some little gingerbread men here.- Oh, gingerbread man!

0:43:37 > 0:43:39It's all for Children In Need!

0:43:41 > 0:43:43# The grand old Duke of York

0:43:43 > 0:43:46# He had 10,000 men

0:43:46 > 0:43:48# And he marched them up to the top of the hill

0:43:48 > 0:43:50# And he marched them down again

0:43:50 > 0:43:52# And when they were up, they were up

0:43:52 > 0:43:55# And when they were down, they were down

0:43:55 > 0:43:57# And when they were only halfway up

0:43:57 > 0:43:59# They were neither up nor down. #

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Let me see you all take a big bow!

0:44:04 > 0:44:07Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey!

0:44:07 > 0:44:11Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey!

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey! Pudsey!

0:44:17 > 0:44:19The best thing about Children In Need is helping people less

0:44:19 > 0:44:21fortunate than us.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24I think the best thing about Children In Need is helping

0:44:24 > 0:44:27all the different children who live in the UK who don't have as

0:44:27 > 0:44:29many opportunities as me.

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Children In Need to me,

0:44:30 > 0:44:34it means helping raise money for children who really need it,

0:44:34 > 0:44:37and it just makes people happy when you're watching it or taking

0:44:37 > 0:44:40part in it. It's just a good bit of fun, so it is.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44Children In Need makes me feel grateful for what I have that

0:44:44 > 0:44:45other children don't.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53Mae Murray's granddaughter has cerebral palsy.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56But Mae, she worked tirelessly to make sure that Talia

0:44:56 > 0:44:59had a fun and positive quality of life.

0:44:59 > 0:45:04When Mae died back in 2012, her daughter Alix, Talia's mother,

0:45:04 > 0:45:07set up the Mae Murray Foundation in her honour

0:45:07 > 0:45:10to make sure that Talia and other children

0:45:10 > 0:45:14experienced fun things in life that many of us take for granted.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Like a day at the beach.

0:45:21 > 0:45:24# Everywhere we go

0:45:24 > 0:45:26# Everywhere we go

0:45:26 > 0:45:28# People always ask us

0:45:28 > 0:45:30# People always ask us

0:45:30 > 0:45:32# Who we are

0:45:32 > 0:45:34# Who we are

0:45:34 > 0:45:36# And where do we come from?

0:45:36 > 0:45:38# And where do we come from?

0:45:38 > 0:45:40# And we always tell them

0:45:40 > 0:45:42# And we always tell them

0:45:42 > 0:45:44# We're the funky chickens

0:45:44 > 0:45:46# We're the funky chickens

0:45:46 > 0:45:48# And if they can't hear us

0:45:48 > 0:45:51# And if they can't hear us... #

0:45:51 > 0:45:55Today is part of our all-ability short break residential.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Over two weekends,

0:45:57 > 0:45:59we have 30 young people, most of

0:45:59 > 0:46:02whom have physical disabilities,

0:46:02 > 0:46:04some of them quite complex.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07And many of whom will never have been in outdoor situations

0:46:07 > 0:46:09like here at Benone Beach,

0:46:09 > 0:46:12either at all or maybe since they were quite young.

0:46:13 > 0:46:16In the past, the beach has been very open

0:46:16 > 0:46:18towards people who are able-bodied.

0:46:18 > 0:46:22Even to bring a wheelchair down to the beach with the soft sand

0:46:22 > 0:46:25is a huge difficulty and that would put families off straightaway.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29And now that the beach wheelchairs are a lot more accessible,

0:46:29 > 0:46:31it means you can come down, go for a walk on the beach

0:46:31 > 0:46:34and be part of your family, just like anyone else would be.

0:46:35 > 0:46:37Thanks to BBC Children In Need,

0:46:37 > 0:46:40we were able to purchase a unique piece of equipment.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43It's a first for Northern Ireland. It's a sit-down surfboard.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45It was designed in Wales last year

0:46:45 > 0:46:47and it's not yet commercially available,

0:46:47 > 0:46:50but we've been able to get hold of one.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53So it means people in wheelchairs can access the water,

0:46:53 > 0:46:55access the sea.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57And whilst we've a long way still to go,

0:46:57 > 0:47:00in terms of improving beach access in Northern Ireland,

0:47:00 > 0:47:02this is certainly a positive start.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05We met Talia about a month ago

0:47:05 > 0:47:08and she was quite shy the first day I met her.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10But, like, she's the most brilliant girl I've ever met

0:47:10 > 0:47:13and she's so kind of confident in herself now.

0:47:13 > 0:47:16And she's wanting to go out there, catch bigger waves,

0:47:16 > 0:47:17stay in for longer.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19So you can see a progression,

0:47:19 > 0:47:22even in the short period that we've been working with her.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29In terms of trying to achieve our longer-term vision

0:47:29 > 0:47:32for beach access and participation,

0:47:32 > 0:47:34we would like to see a lot more beach chairs,

0:47:34 > 0:47:36we would like to see more surfboards,

0:47:36 > 0:47:38sit-down surfboards,

0:47:38 > 0:47:40we would like to see walkways onto the beach,

0:47:40 > 0:47:42accessible changing

0:47:42 > 0:47:44and a whole host of extra resources

0:47:44 > 0:47:47and support that people need.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52If Children In Need weren't here,

0:47:52 > 0:47:55we would not have had the money to purchase this board.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57And if we couldn't have purchased this board,

0:47:57 > 0:48:01we would never have been able to access this style of surfing.

0:48:01 > 0:48:05If we can see someone kind of enjoy the ride of a wave,

0:48:05 > 0:48:08and we've provided that, then that's all that really matters.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12Through the funding provided by BBC Children In Need,

0:48:12 > 0:48:15we're not only able to help these young people here today

0:48:15 > 0:48:18and on our other weekend break,

0:48:18 > 0:48:20we're going to be able to help

0:48:20 > 0:48:22people of restricted ability right through.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25And this board will be used for many years to come.

0:48:25 > 0:48:28Thank you, Children In Need!

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Hands up for the beach!

0:48:37 > 0:48:41And as you can see, your money really does make a difference.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44Raising a smile and raising donations.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46And this is how you did it.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47Thank you.

0:50:17 > 0:50:20- ALL:- We love Children In Need!

0:50:23 > 0:50:27Being part of Children In Need makes me feel amazing.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29Being able to make others happy makes me happy.

0:50:29 > 0:50:33Children In Need means a lot to me because I'm doing

0:50:33 > 0:50:36a good deed for children who aren't as well off as us.

0:50:36 > 0:50:41I love Children In Need because Pudsey comes around and just

0:50:41 > 0:50:45brightens people's days and it makes people feel happy.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Being part of Children In Need makes

0:50:47 > 0:50:50me feel honoured and happy that I can help others around the UK.

0:50:54 > 0:50:59Now, when Eamonn McCrystal flew in today from America, he wasn't alone.

0:50:59 > 0:51:03Also on that plane was the beautiful and talented Chloe Agnew.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05So here they are together singing We've Got Tonight.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Chloe Agnew and Eamonn McCrystal.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Enjoy!

0:51:23 > 0:51:26# I know it's late

0:51:58 > 0:52:00# No-one will care, girl

0:52:02 > 0:52:05# Look at the stars now

0:54:50 > 0:54:53I'd like you to meet a fantastic little girl called Elodie

0:54:53 > 0:54:54and her big brother Finn.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57And they want to tell you how your donations have helped

0:54:57 > 0:54:59put a smile on their faces.

0:55:01 > 0:55:02- Finn.- Right.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04What is a motorcycle?

0:55:04 > 0:55:08My name is Finn and my little sister, Ellie,

0:55:08 > 0:55:10she's blind, but she can still do

0:55:10 > 0:55:13lots and lots and lots of stuff.

0:55:13 > 0:55:14I try to help her.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Finn, what are you doing?

0:55:16 > 0:55:19This is you and me riding a motorcycle.

0:55:19 > 0:55:21You have a blue one and I have a red one.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23You can barely reach the handles.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25What age were you when you did that?

0:55:25 > 0:55:28I would say I was about seven. I was about seven.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29You were four.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31You're the wee best sister I could ever have.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Thank you.

0:55:33 > 0:55:37When Elodie was born, her eyes were small and unfinished.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39And when she was a few months old,

0:55:39 > 0:55:41one of her retinas detached,

0:55:41 > 0:55:44followed a few months later by the other one.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47This is me pulling a chariot.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50We were told that there's going to be a gradual deterioration

0:55:50 > 0:55:54of her sight and she will lose all her vision eventually.

0:55:54 > 0:55:58I wish I could see like Finn, because...

0:55:58 > 0:56:00- You could do lots more stuff. - Yeah.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02And I could do more fun stuff,

0:56:02 > 0:56:04see more amazing things.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06Yeah.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09I want a trombone of my own.

0:56:09 > 0:56:13For Elodie, being blind is not just about a loss of vision.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16It's about the loss of all the learning opportunities,

0:56:16 > 0:56:18so it's so important that we find special ways

0:56:18 > 0:56:21of helping Elodie to achieve independence.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23One, two, three, four!

0:56:23 > 0:56:26And that's why music entered Elodie's life.

0:56:26 > 0:56:30She now visits Open Arts In Tune workshops in Belfast,

0:56:30 > 0:56:33a project that is supported by your donations.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37What we're trying to do is to give them the confidence

0:56:37 > 0:56:39to be more independent.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41It's not just about playing instruments.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44There's a lot going on under the surface.

0:56:44 > 0:56:46They're feeling new things, they're hearing new things.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48'They're hearing new instructions.'

0:56:48 > 0:56:51When you push those little buttons...

0:56:51 > 0:56:54'It's about essential skills like listening and turn-taking,

0:56:54 > 0:56:58'coordination that are used

0:56:58 > 0:57:00'in all aspects of life.'

0:57:00 > 0:57:01FLUTE PLAYS

0:57:03 > 0:57:06But it's also so much fun.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10And the fun continues at home.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Elodie is just the happiest girl in the world.

0:57:14 > 0:57:17She's finding out new things about music every day.

0:57:17 > 0:57:21She discovered what she really, really, really enjoys.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25The workshops helped Elodie develop a love of music.

0:57:25 > 0:57:29We've noticed her confidence really growing in the last year.

0:57:32 > 0:57:35When I can see her laughing and enjoying herself,

0:57:35 > 0:57:38it just makes me think, "We can do this. Her future is bright."

0:57:41 > 0:57:44Your donations will mean that more children like Elodie

0:57:44 > 0:57:47can enjoy the benefits that music can bring.

0:57:56 > 0:57:59I'm sure you've noticed the nights are getting much colder,

0:57:59 > 0:58:01but that hasn't stopped you from getting out and about

0:58:01 > 0:58:04on your fundraising activities.

0:58:42 > 0:58:43Brilliant, thank you.

0:58:43 > 0:58:44Good luck!

0:58:47 > 0:58:50It's Children In Need day and I need your help today.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52I want you get in here and give me as much as you possibly can.

0:58:52 > 0:58:55Mr Auctioneer, you do your worst.

0:58:55 > 0:58:56This, that or the other.

0:58:56 > 0:58:57We don't really want that.

0:58:57 > 0:58:59We want more if you can get it,

0:58:59 > 0:59:01but we'll take less if we don't get it.

0:59:04 > 0:59:0540 quid.

0:59:05 > 0:59:0640 quid!

0:59:10 > 0:59:12And you see, this is what it's all about.

0:59:12 > 0:59:14It's for Children In Need. Get in there and give us a bit.

0:59:29 > 0:59:32You know, the money you donate, it really does make a huge difference.

0:59:32 > 0:59:35It's life-changing for many children.

0:59:35 > 0:59:38Children like Leo Donaghy.

0:59:38 > 0:59:40When Leo and his mum found themselves homeless,

0:59:40 > 0:59:42the Depaul charity kicked in

0:59:42 > 0:59:45and offered a safe and secure environment

0:59:45 > 0:59:49for Leo and his mum in the Cloverhill hostel in West Belfast.

1:00:03 > 1:00:08My house was overcrowded and I lived at my mummy's

1:00:08 > 1:00:10and so when I came in here, it was a fresh start.

1:00:16 > 1:00:19Whenever people come in through the door,

1:00:19 > 1:00:21obviously it's a very traumatic time for them.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24More than likely, they're coming from a crisis.

1:00:27 > 1:00:28Ready? One, two, three, go!

1:00:28 > 1:00:31Roisian would be very typical of the young people that we help.

1:00:31 > 1:00:35Young mums who are starting out for the first time in life.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42Fiona is a child support worker in Cloverhill hostel and she is

1:00:42 > 1:00:44funded by Children In Need.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47- What does the duck say?- Quack.

1:00:47 > 1:00:48SHE LAUGHS

1:00:48 > 1:00:52She would help people with their problems because this is

1:00:52 > 1:00:54a family support hostel.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56She would help kids reading, writing, their behaviour,

1:00:56 > 1:00:59if you have family problems. She's brilliant.

1:00:59 > 1:01:00She does a load of stuff.

1:01:00 > 1:01:02He's doing absolutely fantastic.

1:01:02 > 1:01:06Aren't you, wee son? He's an absolute credit to you.

1:01:06 > 1:01:10He has come on leaps and bounds and it's your hard work and all, too.

1:01:10 > 1:01:12It's good that you're not alone.

1:01:12 > 1:01:14All right, Leo.

1:01:14 > 1:01:16- L.- L.

1:01:16 > 1:01:20For seven years, Children In Need has funded Depaul

1:01:20 > 1:01:22with a child support worker.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26The impact that that has made has been phenomenal.

1:01:26 > 1:01:30Say "Leo". I was worried about Leo's speech because

1:01:30 > 1:01:32he was talking, but he wasn't saying many words.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34It was the same words now and again.

1:01:34 > 1:01:35Draw a wee doggie.

1:01:35 > 1:01:39It changed him completely and his speech is just brilliant now.

1:01:39 > 1:01:43He loves books and he will read a book to me! He will!

1:01:43 > 1:01:45He's brilliant.

1:01:45 > 1:01:48It's easier for me to have a conversation with him and

1:01:48 > 1:01:50for him to have a conversation with other kids.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55When I moved in here, I had to do everything myself.

1:01:55 > 1:01:59We had a cookery class and it was like a healthy cookery class.

1:01:59 > 1:02:01He used to be a terrible eater.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05When he was a baby and we used to do spoon feeds and all, no go.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08When he helps me, he can't wait to eat it.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11Do you know what I mean? Because he's prepared it with me.

1:02:11 > 1:02:14It's really important when somebody comes in to

1:02:14 > 1:02:17a big building like this, where there are 18 other families,

1:02:17 > 1:02:20for...to have someone that you can talk to who doesn't judge you.

1:02:20 > 1:02:23We want to see people going out through the door.

1:02:23 > 1:02:25We want to see them going out

1:02:25 > 1:02:28being confident in their own ability,

1:02:28 > 1:02:32not only as parents, but as members of the community that they

1:02:32 > 1:02:34choose to live in.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36My ambition for the future would be me being

1:02:36 > 1:02:39a better mummy and him settled in the school.

1:02:39 > 1:02:42We've spent a year and a half with Leo and hopefully he will

1:02:42 > 1:02:44have a new home sometime soon.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46Say "one".

1:02:46 > 1:02:49We try and give them a window into the opportunities that there

1:02:49 > 1:02:51are out there.

1:02:51 > 1:02:54In later life, it will help him in school and it'll help him in college

1:02:54 > 1:02:58and where he works and if he wants to push himself, it'll help them.

1:03:03 > 1:03:07We never cease to be amazed or humbled at how you embrace

1:03:07 > 1:03:11the challenge of fundraising with enthusiasm and a real sense of fun.

1:03:11 > 1:03:15We are also in awe of those who carry out life-changing work.

1:03:15 > 1:03:18Indeed. It's so uplifting to work on Children In Need, but now,

1:03:18 > 1:03:21we've got something just for you.

1:03:21 > 1:03:25Just for a moment, please sit back and enjoy the wonderful

1:03:25 > 1:03:28Chloe Agnew singing What A Wonderful World.

1:03:39 > 1:03:45# I see trees of green

1:03:45 > 1:03:48# Red roses too

1:03:49 > 1:03:57# I see them bloom, for me and you

1:03:57 > 1:04:00# And I think to myself

1:04:03 > 1:04:08# What a wonderful world

1:04:12 > 1:04:16# I see skies of blue

1:04:16 > 1:04:19# And clouds of white

1:04:20 > 1:04:23# The bright, blessed day

1:04:23 > 1:04:26# And the dark, sacred night

1:04:26 > 1:04:32# And I think to myself, oh-oh

1:04:32 > 1:04:37# What a wonderful world

1:04:41 > 1:04:48# The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

1:04:48 > 1:04:54# Are also on the faces of people passing by

1:04:54 > 1:05:01# I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"

1:05:02 > 1:05:08# What they're really saying is "I love you"

1:05:10 > 1:05:14# And I hear babies cry

1:05:16 > 1:05:18# I watch them grow

1:05:19 > 1:05:22# They'll learn much more

1:05:22 > 1:05:25# Than I'll ever know

1:05:25 > 1:05:30# And I think to myself

1:05:30 > 1:05:34# Oh-oh, what a wonderful world

1:05:36 > 1:05:39# Oh-oh

1:05:39 > 1:05:47# I see trees of green red roses too

1:05:47 > 1:05:54# I see them bloom, for me and you

1:05:54 > 1:05:59# And I think to myself, oh-oh

1:05:59 > 1:06:03# What a wonderful world

1:06:03 > 1:06:05# Oh-oh

1:06:07 > 1:06:11# I think to myself

1:06:13 > 1:06:21# What a wonderful world. #

1:06:28 > 1:06:30Oh, wasn't that beautiful? I've got goose bumps.

1:06:30 > 1:06:32Thank you, Chloe.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34And thank you to all of those who shared their heart-warming

1:06:34 > 1:06:36stories with us tonight.

1:06:36 > 1:06:39At the start of the show, I told you we had music and magic.

1:06:39 > 1:06:42Eamonn, Chloe and the choir provided the music,

1:06:42 > 1:06:44YOU provided the magic.

1:06:44 > 1:06:46Your money has transformed lives and made big changes,

1:06:46 > 1:06:49changes for the better, for children in need.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51- And we've had fun too, haven't we? - Absolutely.

1:06:51 > 1:06:53- Goodnight.- Goodnight.
