Using your money, Children in Need

In Dundee.

In Dundee. The Tamera looks after

children who are having a stressful

time due to illness. 12-year-old

Benny from Dundee sailed through

primary school loving sport and

spending time with friends. Until he

got cancer in May this year.

Doctors

diagnose it initially Aston

sillitis. The last thing we ever

expected to hear was the news that

he had leukaemia. Threw us into

complete turmoil.

My reaction wasn't

that severe. I was like, OK, that

doesn't sound too bad. I will get

through this, it will be easy.

Despite Benny's positive attitude,

it was clear he was seriously ill.

He was rushed to hospital 60 miles

away in Edinburgh.

Benny immediately

went into theatre to have the

Central line inserted in his chest

through which they could administer

the chemotherapy.

Benny spent a

month in hospital undergoing

intensive treatment. The doctors

hoped this would be enough to send

the cancer into remission.

Unfortunately, when Benny came back

from Edinburgh, some tests showed

Benny's leukaemia cells were more

severe in his bone marrow than was

first thought. They to switch him to

the hey rest regimes. The first year

of the three years will be the most

intensive.

Having chemotherapy makes

my arms and legs very weak. Too

tired to do anything. The one thing

I really hate is getting injected. I

find it OK when it's in my arm. In

my thigh, where I usually have to

get it, it hurts.

But the last straw

is just how much the chemotherapy's

affecting Benny appearance.

During

November, I get another five weeks

of chemotherapy. My hair will fall

out. I will lose the progress I've

been making. I don't know why I call

it progress. It's not even that

much.

We're in this together as a

family. We have to take it a day at

a time and see where we go from

there.

A lovely day for the sailing.

Yeah,

a good one, I think.

There's one

thing that's helping Benny and his

mum and dad to take their minds off

things. Your Children in Need

donations are helping the charity to

offer trips to families like Benny's

who've been suffering serious

illness.

After a long period maybe

in hospital undergoying some pretty

hefty treatments, it is just a great

time for families to get together

and have a sharing experience to

find their feet again.

It gives us

very good quality family time. We're

making memories. Oh, look, there's a

seal.

Yeah.

It's a seal of approval!

I'll get kicked off the boat! As

soon as we're out on the water you

tend to forget everything. That

Benny's leukaemia condition, every

hindrance we've been through for the

last two or three months, we all

felt completely relaxed.

This is us

well well and clear. Over.

You

actually feel a sense of freedom.

Just absolutely came at the right

time for all of us.

Today, as a

special treat, Taymara have invited

Benny's best pal on board.

I'm

really enjoying it. The fact I'm

with one of my friends. It's really

good to see this and it's all great.

Now, these mean streets have felt a

little bit safer in the last couple

of days. That's because the officers

from Scot squad have been patrol the

beat and making sure all is in

order. Of course, they bumped into a

few familiar faces along the way.

Children has a friend indeed in

Scottish police force commove

commissioner Cameron Mick Ellison.

The shield who protects Scotland is

visiting the nation's River City.

If

decent folk like you or I hear Matt

Baker's cycling on a rickshaw to

Glasgow in the hope to raise 4

billion pounds for Children in Need,

you think great. But mate baker is

in a windowless vehicle around the

corner, £4 million. He thinks

Baker's got the money. Before you

know where you are, there's a Bam

shoving the rickshaw into the River

Clyde and Matt Baker's tied up in

award robe. I can't allow Matt Baker

to go missing or aWal on my watch.

Otherwise, I'll have Sturgeon all

over me. I have a crack unit to

police this event and keep the bams

at bay. The great thing about an

event like this, it really gives a

lift to a disadvantaged community

like Shield Edge.

Who are you

calling disadvantaged. Some cheek on

you, big man. Doing your nose on us?

I'm not.

Did you come with that tall

lassie off the news. That Jackie

Bird?

Is Jackie Bird here? I

honestly didn't know.

You lot don't

know much about anything.

Ma, move

it, come on. What?

Do I know you?

Me, no, I don't think so. I've never

been in trouble with the police.

Aye, and I'm Kim Kardashian!

Sorry

about that!

I'm sure I've met her.

about that!

I'm sure I've met her.

We're definitely going to make it on

the telly with this bad boy.

Advertising for the garage.

Defoe.

Advertising for the garage.

Defoe.

HUMMING I can't believe I miss

working with PC Hugh McArdle.

We

will have to ask you to move this

vehicle.

We're nearly done, pal.

She's not your pal, pal.

We need

this area clear and be on the

lookout for dodgy-looking characters

before The One Show rickshaw gets

here.

Plus there will be cameras. We

need to make sure nothing and no-one

shows Scotland in a bad light. So

beat it.

Think you're looking in the

wrong place for dodgy looking

characters, officers.

Will you

please deal with him.

Excuse me,

gents. Bobby, we talked about this.

The work I'm doing is overtime. That

means I'm not on desk duty at the

moment. That means, first of all,

I'm concerned about how you managed

to track me down and second of all,

you really need to go home now. OK.

I have something to say but I didn't

want to interrupt you. Is this a

good time?

Aye, we're done here.

Nice try, sunshine.

You watch

yourself, sunshine.

This is a police

matter.

Sorry officer.

We need to

get some practice in here.

Practice

for what?

The rickshaw challenges.

We're going to cycle along the river

with them.

Good luck getting a turn

of speed up on that one.

Could you

do any better.

Officers could well

beat you two in a race.

Me and Bob

will race you and officer Karen.

Your name's Bob?

Much as I'd like to

take you up on that, I will not be

racing against this chap. Totally

race with him, but...

No, not

happening. We're on duty.

I'm begging you, please do this?

No.

I haven't been outside the station

in five years. The only exercise I

get is the two stairs up and down to

the custody suite and I eat most of

the dinners on the way. I need this.

Please, let's have some fun?

No way.

I don't deploy this card lightly.

But I'm a Sergeant and I outrank

you.

My knowledge of the roads

outrangs yours, Sergeant.

What's the

scrap then? Are you chicken? What

did you say?

I believe PC is saying

the slightly shorter of the

gentlemen there cast as pegses on

your knowledge of the road. Are you

going to take that? Well, lads,

looks like you've got yourself a wee

race then. We'll be back.

So does your knowledge of roads

figure out where we'll get a

rickshaw at short notice?

We're the

Scottish police. We impound

everything.

Here, we've got the same

name?

Aye.

And, what's your name?

Angus.

Angus. I don't like him.

Cool!

More to come from the River Squad

team a little later on. A highlight

of each appeal night is our Children

in Need Choir. 1500 youngsters from

all over the country took part in

this year's musical masterpiece. In

Scotland, children from across

Ayrshire came together dedicating

their weekends and spare time

rehearsing. Our choirmaster was on

hand to work his magic. It wasn't

long before everyone was in fine

voice. This year, Scottish Children

in Need Choir is made up from pupils

of 30 schools across Ayrshire. The

musical director is on hand to make

sure everyone's prepared for the big

night.

This is our first chance to

bring young people from all over

Ayrshire, from the different schools

together, and have them singing as

one choir.

one choir.

# Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Over

The Rainbow's a fantastic song but

has challenges. There is an ok tav

jump. A big note. Make sure we get

that M

When we get it wrong, the

choirmaster doesn't shout at us. We

get to practise it and get it right.

Get the birds fly I over.

It is such

a beautiful song. It represents

courage and hope. If you want to go

on big adventures.

I've been

practising the words quite a lot at

home. I think my mum's starting to

get fed up because me and my brother

are singing it all the time.

One of

this year's schools is bringing an

additional element to the

performance.

Our school decided to

do signing language because one of

the boys has a Sis ability. We're

trying to teach him sing language.

This is my son Harris. He has

cerebral palsy. He's in the signing

choir. He's now able to sign with

his friends from the school and it's

just brought him on leaps and

bounds. He's just loving it.

We're

talking about how great it would be

if everyone could learn how to sign

it. That's what's happened this

morning. Would you like to learn how

to sign some of it?

ALL: Yes.

We'll do that as part of

our performance

ALL: Yes.

Seeing hundreds of people

signing, many for the first time,

was quite an experience.

Although they have been busy with

rehearsals, the pupils have still

found time for a spot of

fundraising.

Today we are singing to

raise money for Children in Need!

We had lots of fun and raised lots

of money.

Back at the rehearsal, the

hard work is paying off.

And now that the our wonderful

Scottish children's choir singing

and signing Over The Rainbow.

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Way up high

# There's a land that I heard of

# Once in a lullaby

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Skies are blue

# And the dreams

that you dare to dream

# Really do come true

# Someday I'll wish upon a star

# And wake up where the clouds

are far

# Behind me

# Where troubles melt

like lemon drops

# Away above the chimney tops

# That's where you'll find me

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Bluebirds fly

# Birds fly over the rainbow

# Why, then, oh why can't I?

# Somewhere over the rainbow

Since 2011 The One Show's Rickshaw

Challenge has raised a vast amount

for Children in Need and every penny

donated helps children and young

people who need it most. This year's

challenge kicked off on Thursday in

London. The new team of six riders,

all of whom have been supported by

BBC Children in Need funded

projects, at eight days to get to

Glasgow, no matter what.

The first

couple of miles down. Seven miles

in, our first problem and it's a big

one. The rickshaw is down.

one. The rickshaw is down. Goodbye,

Oxfordshire, hello, Warwickshire. We

have arrived in Morecambe.

For two

of the riders, the long and arduous

cycle to Scotland is a return home.

My name is Greg, I'm 18 from

Dunfermline. I'm originally from

Poland, when I was nine my dad died.

After that my mum started neglecting

me, she would not give me food and I

was always hungry.

My name is Shona.

My condition is degenerative. I just

wanted to be able to do something

like this while I still can.

We have

made it to Scotland! Over you go!

Team Rickshaw!

CHEERING

The

The total is £5,063,230!

We spoke to

you last year, who would have but

you would be doing something like

this? Describe it to me.

It was

tough at times but also exciting

because we bonded together as a team

and got through all those miles.

You

said you wanted an adventure, did

you get one?

Yes, definitely. I

wanted something that would

challenge me. And that's what I got.

You have been astonishing, you have

kept everybody going and raised a

phenomenal amount of money. What

would you like to say to these

amazing young people?

They are all

incredible in their own right. This

challenge, it is nothing in

comparison to what they have already

been through in their lives. I have

thoroughly enjoyed every moment

riding alongside you guys and I will

miss you all, I really well.

Rickshaw Riders, we salute you!

Still to come, we have part two of

our special collaboration between

the cast of River City and Scot

Squad, River Squad. A special

performance by Katie Melua of the

official Children in Need single,

Fields of Gold. Another chance to

hear the wonderful Scottish

children's choir, plus we continue

to look at all the Children in Need

funded projects that benefit from

your donations. One of the most

important ways your money can help

is to allow young people with a

variety of disabilities and complex

needs simply to have some fun.

Children in Need support projects

like Kudla bright sparks in

Bonnyrigg to do that, providing

activities which provide laughter

and relaxation.

Well done, poppy.

Harry is a happy, chatty

seven-year-old but his journey has

not been easy. He was a bright,

bubbly baby but when he was two he

seemed to change overnight.

He

seemed to have a few words to start

off with mum and ball and cart but

they suddenly disappeared.

Harry

stopped trying to talk or make eye

contact.

He has always had a light

in his eye but that went.

The

doctors diagnosed severe autism.

He

didn't even seem to want to be in

our world. It was like he was gone

for a good while and I know that

sounds stupid, sorry...

Then it was

discovered that as well as autism

Harry had a rare chromosomal

disorder.

He has a genetic condition

that affects his growth. He is a

very big boy for his age and he

grows up quite an alarming rate. He

is seven years old at the moment he

has size five adult feet, he is

almost as tall as myself. Autism is

hard enough but when you factor in

his wake and growth issues, it makes

it very difficult.

One of the

biggest challenges of Harry's

condition is managing his insatiable

appetite.

Trying to stop him eating

is a 24-hour a day task and it is

not just about food. I can struggle

to go for a shower if I'm in on my

own, I can come up to find him

sitting eating toilet rolls like

their apples. He still in the strike

from his brother but he ate the

cardboard as well! It's not funny

but sometimes you do have to laugh.

The demands of Harry's autism and

genetic disorder began to make

family life very hard.

Simple things

like just nipping to the supermarket

to get shopping. He can be upset,

distressed, he can sit down and

refused to get up. He can be

emotional, he can bite himself when

he is angry and upset.

As his

behaviour became more challenging,

Gemma began losing her confidence.

You do withdraw, and especially when

they first get diagnosed, it takes

you a while to get a thick skin to

things. People stare and make

comments and look. It was incredibly

difficult to deal with and I would

avoid going out or taking him places

rather than having to face that. It

is lonely. Especially at first.

Everything changes, you don't know

how but everything has changed and

you don't know where the future is

lying and you don't know what to do.

I know people will say it is not the

end of the world but when you see

your older son joining these clubs

and going to school and doing

typical things, and you know that is

never going to be for your younger

son, it absolutely breaks your

heart.

Hello!

Just as they were feeling at

their lowest comedy family found

Bright Sparks, a local support group

for families with disabilities --

feeling at their lowest, the family

found Bright Sparks.

They appeared

at our door very unsure and anxious.

From first walking in you just

felt...

You felt you were somewhere

where your child could be the way

they are, nobody looked at you any

different.

He loves coming here, the

sensory room and the playroom.

Thanks to your donations to Children

in Need, Bright Sparks were able to

provide harried with speech and

music therapy which helped him find

his voice again -- provide harried.

When he arrived he was non-verbal.

When he arrived he was non-verbal.

-- Harry.

You need to stand here.

Now he is chatting away and very

confident which we are proud of

because we have been part of that.

I

really credit the physique therapy

he got with helping him massively,

to come back into our world.

That's

looking good.

I like the cake.

You

made the cake? Wow! We have

absolutely never looked back, for us

finding Bright Sparks has been one

of the best things to happen to us

for Harry and myself.

I give you a

big hug.

Now, let's return to River Squad and

see how they're getting on with

their very own Rickshaw Challenge.

their very own Rickshaw Challenge.

National man Cameron Mick Ellison is

getting to know One Stop prior

righter.

Were you at the launch in

Oban? Launch in Geneva? The highland

games. I was the Chieftan?

No. I ran

an ice cream van. Maybe you tried my

double nuggets?

No. Wait, 1987

Joshua Trees tour. I was a rookie

doing crowd control. You were at

front of stage. I caught you. You

don't remember? There's no reason

you should remember.

Of course I to.

Aye.

Still haven't found what I'm

looking for?

Sorry?

That was the

song they were singing when you

leapt from that stage and I caught

you in these constable's arms. I

never forget a face. Or a smile.

Listen, I don't suppose...

What's

happening over there?

Spotting a

breach of the peace, the chief goes

to lay down the law.

Remember, the

reputation of the Scottish police

force is resting on your shoulders.

Do not let me down.

Remember, the

reputation of Shieldinch is hanging

in the balance. Don't let your mammy

down, son.

It's only donkey Kong.

We're doing this.

Aye, aye.

The battle commences.

CHEERING

The raisin tense fist. Race

intensifies.

The results are almost in. Bear with

us!

I think the Shieldinch boys just

edged it.

Oh, well done, boys. Wait

fill I tell Dougie.

Dougie?

I am sea

a fella.

Oh, right. You're spoken

for?

Aye, yeah, it's early days, but

he's a keeper.

Good. Good, good,

good.

So I think by allowing the little

Glaswegian street people to win, I

think we've given a boost to this

disadvantaged community ergo the

real winners today, the Scottish

police force. Policing is all about

hearts and minds. Today, we've won

the Hearts and Minds of the

Shieldinch community. I'm going to

leave the good people of Shieldinch

now and head upriver to Pacific Quay

where apparently the leading weather

persons Judith Ralston is attempting

to eighth 37 boiled eggs in 30

seconds. I will get up there and

secure the perimeter. What's that?

Quail's eggs? Not nearly as

impressive. Anyone can eat that main

quail's eggs.

Thank you to the cast of river city

and Scot Squad for giving their time

and talent to Children in Need. The

money you donate helps support young

people when they need it most. There

are an estimated 29,000 young

careers in Scotland dedicating their

lives to looking after loved ones.

The donations you make to Children

in Need goes towards counselling,

respite and fun days out for

self-lets young people like

Georgina. Here's her story.

Eight-year-old Georgina lives at

home with her mum, Laura, and her

little brother.

I'm Georgina. This

is Archie. He is cute. He's smiley,

he's giggly. He's just the way he

is.

Archie was born with most of his

brain missing which has left himself

easterly physically disabled and

blind.

The doctors said he would

only live up to five months. He's

five years old now. Aren't you baby?

He can't walk. He can't move but he

can smile and he can go ah and

stuff. And it's cute. Yeah.

He needs

to be cared for 24 hours a day.

For

the most part, it's pretty full-on.

Archie could wake up coffee and

being sick. You have to jump out of

bed. No chance to brush your teeth

or having a shower. A lot of

lifting. Bringing him into the

kitchen. Getting his meals set up.

Trying to feed him. There's some

nights where he'll sit in his chair

and he's happy. There's others where

he's constantly needing attention.

The days can be really, really hard.

But Georgie usually gives me a hand

to help with all that.

Georgina has

developed a special bond with Archie

and has found her own way to

entertain him while her mum's busy.

entertain him while her mum's busy.

# You know that I'm still standing.

# You know that I'm still standing.

I think she misses out on a lot of

one to to one. Even when you're

having one to one you're still

looking after Archie. It is a

challenge. There are some times when

you just kind of go, it's been a

couple of weeks and I've not spent a

proper evening with her. It breaks

my heart. It's hard.

Archie's

condition is life-limiting. Over the

last year, he's had some very

serious medical setbacks.

We nearly

lost him twice last year. Archie

went into a 20-hour seizure attack.

We couldn't get him out of it. He

was at the point of basically, the

Meds were going to kill him or the

seizure was going to kill him. That

was the first time, I think, really,

that it hit close to home how

quickly he could go.

For young

careers like Georgina, it's not

always the amount of practical

support they give that takes its

toll, often the hardest thing is how

much they worry.

I mostly feel

worried at night-time or at school.

I think when I come home from school

Archie might have a problem, what's

it called? Maybe like pass away.

But when things feel tough, there is

help on hand. Your donations to

Children in Need help sterling young

careers give Georgina and other

young careers some all important

time-out with friends.

You now go

up.

Yeah.

Then, you will also...

Gina is a confident, fun young

bubbly young girl. Coming on trips

like this brings her out of her

Shell and gives her the chance to be

the little girl she wants to be.

It

really helps. I get to spend more

time with people I know have the

same problems. It makes me feel

happy I'm not the only person.

All

the kids here understand what it is

like to have that extra

responsibility at home where

somebody's ill and how important it

is for them to come on trips like

this and get that time away.

Oh, my

gosh.

They get on so well. A

You've

done awesome to get up there. Get

ready to jump. We here to

Er

encourage them.

It was a bit scary. It looks like

it's not that high. But when you get

up there, it is pretty high. This

was awesome.

Up next is Katie Melua

performing the official Children in

Need single Fields of Gold.

# Ooh

# You'll remember me

when the west wind moves

# Among the fields of barley

# You can tell the sun

in his jealous sky

# When we walked in fields of gold

# So she took her love

for to gaze awhile

# Among the fields of barley

# In his arms she fell

as her hair came down

# Among the fields of gold

# Will you stay with me?

Will you be my love

# Among the fields of barley?

# You can tell the sun

in his jealous sky

# When we walked in fields of gold

# I never made promises lightly

# And there have been some

that I've broken

# But I swear in the days still left

# We'll walk in fields of gold

# We'll walk in fields of gold

# Ooh

# Many years have passed

since those summer days

# Among the fields of barley

# See the children run

as the sun goes down

# As you lie in fields of gold

# You'll remember me

when the west wind moves

# Among the fields of barley

# You can tell the sun

in his jealous sky

# When we walked in fields of gold

# When we walked in fields of gold

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Just one text from you can change a

child's life. Children in Need

currently fund 62 projects across

the UK which help children deal with

bereavement and stress. When

12-year-old Doddy lost his father to

a genetic condition, the trauma

turned his life upside down. Thanks

to projects like Stable Life it

helped him. Doddy is 12. A

year-and-a-half ago, he lost his

dad, Mark.

He enjoyed making stuff

with me. Doing stuff in the garage.

We made ponds in the garden. Put

fences up and stuff. My train set

was my grandpa's. Me and my dad had

it. We turned it into what it is

now.

Nantes before he died, Mark

started to feel unwell.

He always

had a stomach ache, feeling sick.

They did various fests on him. We

got a phone call from the

consultant. The consultant said Mark

was in end stage liver failure but

they didn't know why.

Because of the

liver problem, he just went really

yellow. We could still have fun with

it though. We kept buying Simpson's

merchandise for him.

He was turning

into homer Simpson.

Yeah, always

trying to get the fun out of

everything.

He took it all in good

humour, he really did. It really

came out of the blue. To be told he

needed a liver transplant. He was

unconscious for three days.

I found

it really difficult to visit him

when he was like that. It was so

upsetting.

He was second on the

transplant list. Unfortunately, we

ran out of time and he Ziad on 23rd

February. -- he died on 23rd

February.

To make a fresh start

after Mark's death, sues and and

Doddy moved from England to the

Scottish Borders to be near family

and a place with happy memories.

Dad

was always behind the camera. We've

not too many photos of him. He was

the one who took all the photos.

But

taking on a new school and new

friends while still grieving for his

dad proved too much for him.

It was

overwhelming. I became really sad

and upset all the time. I just

wanted to sit in my room all by

myself.

He became shy, quiet.

I got

anxious about doing everything.

Sometimes aggressive.

I was getting

really ill from it.

Doddy started

having uncontrollable panic attacks.

You were feeling sick. You were

trembling and sweating. Just hyper

ventilating. Getting chest pains,

weren't you?

I couldn't even go to

bed. That's how bad it was.

It could

be 1.00 in the morning. We'd be

sitting in the bathroom just

counting one two ten and starting

again, counting one to ten trying to

get through it. He just disappeared.

He went away somewhere that I didn't

know where it was. It made me feel

scared because I should be looking

after him. But I couldn't take his

pain away.

Just when it felt like he could not

go on, Doddy was introduced to

Stable Life. Your donations help

fund this horse Centre project which

helps young people in distress.

When

he first came with us he was very

anxious and almost closed down and

he was a young person who seemed to

want to hold everything together but

had forgotten how to have fun and

just be himself. You find a click

with some ponies more than others

and make a real connection.

The

first I Kinnara and started grooming

the horse as I was riding a horse

called Danny -- the first time I

came here. I knew that this was the

way I was going to do it, to calm

myself down and get less stress.

Loving his weekly riding lessons,

Doddy really pushed himself to take

on new challenges.

As soon as they

asked me if I wanted to canter, I

was like yeah, I can do this and

that was a turning point. Sometimes

I couldn't leave the house, I was so

anxious about doing new things but

since I have cantered that hasn't

really happened.

I'm so proud of

him, the way he has come on in the

last year, he has changed immensely.

He is now oozing with confidence in

all areas and showing what potential

he has, he is an absolute treasure.

They gave me my son back, he is back

to being the Doddy I know, confident

and self assured and caring. He is

Doddy, back to being Doddy again.

Your donations to Children in Need

help to support a myriad of

charities across Scotland for so

many children and continue to

support them into adulthood. A

number of young people have

benefited so much from Children in

Need projects that they wanted to

give something back. Here are their

inspiring stories. Every year we

make films that show how children

all round Scotland are being helped

by Children in Need. But this film

is different. This is about four

young people whose lives were

changed by Children in Need and now

they are giving something back. This

is Jordan. The Children in Need

funded project Jack and Jill has

been giving him a helping hand since

he was ten, offering him all sorts

of activities from a weekly youth

club to day trips in the holidays.

Our main focus is to reduce social

isolation and increase the feeling

of pride in young people.

Now he is

17 and he is paying back.

Being

helpful, and with my family.

Jordan

is giving his time helping to run

the laughter Yoga class.

Does

anybody know what that is?

It makes

you laugh.

Roller-coaster.

you laugh.

Roller-coaster.

We

researched about laughter yoga and

it is about ringing a bit more

happiness and joy which helps to

reduce the chances of mental ill

health.

health. Having volunteers like

Jordan means they can show other

young people just how much skills

you can develop as a young person.

He volunteers at many of our

fundraising might as well and he

really is an all-round super

volunteer and Jack and Jill would be

lost without him.

And in Glasgow there is Dylan. After

he and his twin sister were born,

Dylan suffered a series of fits that

meant he would never walk. But it

has not stopped him dancing.

has not stopped him dancing.

Independence is an inclusive dance

company based in last go. It is to

give dance opportunities to people

who usually or in the past have been

excluded from that kind of

opportunity.

If I had not joined

Independence what I would not think

to dance and they have completely

changed my life and it is amazing to

be part of the company.

And now

Dylan is giving something back.

We

quite often have fundraising

weekends where we go and shake hands

and ask people to donate and he

always commits his time to this and

raises a lot of money we can put

back into the company.

They give us

the tins and by the end mine is

full.

A lot of time it is something

missing in their lives come and

dance gives them control and

volunteering and giving back gives

them that sense of control as well.

And in Dundee there is Rhys who is

16 and has been coming to the ADHD

support group for two years.

The

first day I went I remember going in

and absolutely loving it and I

didn't want to go home. Everybody

welcomed me in and made me feel like

I was the same as them.

Rees suffers

from hyperactivity, anxiety and

difficulty concentrating.

So many

people don't understand it, it is an

invisible illness and a chemical

imbalance in the brain. Every kid is

affected differently.

Meeting others

with the same condition has made all

the difference.

They share their

experience with you and you can

share your experience. It has made

me happier, happier with myself

because I used to think that I've

got ADHD and I'm a weirdo. If I

hadn't gone that I wouldn't be what

I am today. It changes you, makes

you your true self.

Coming here has

helped so much he has chosen to

volunteer with younger kids.

volunteer with younger kids.

Once he

started his volunteering, the

confidence in him was just

brilliant, amazing.

I love

volunteering because I get to go in

and show the positives of having

ADHD. You got a never-ending supply

of energy! It is amazing to have it

and you wouldn't be you without it.

In Glasgow there is Eddie. He has

been attending the Possibilities

youth club since he was eight.

We

have social groups, arts and crafts

and on top of that we provide

volunteer opportunities.

It was a

refuge for Eddie who had been

bullied at school because of his

disability.

It is water on the

brain, it affects my head.

brain, it affects my head. It would

always affect my head and I would

have to go to hospital and stuff.

It

is the youth club that helped him

come out of himself again.

I was

quite shy. Sitting in the corner and

I didn't know anybody. But I started

to know everybody and everybody was

friends. I progressed myself and got

more confident and confident.

Eddie

is so grateful for the boost he has

been given that he is now

volunteering, organising bus runs

into the youth club.

I have been

waiting half an hour!

Know you

haven't! Eddie has given loads back.

He is that vibrant character that

can get everybody going. As soon as

they get on the bus.

I come here

every Tuesday. It makes me feel

brilliant because I'm doing

something, I'm not sitting in the

house constantly, I'm out

volunteering and stuff. I wake up in

the morning and go yes, it's

Tuesday! Brilliant!

And this is just

the tip of the iceberg. There are

young people all round Scotland

working tirelessly to support

Children in Need funded projects.

Volunteers, we salute you.

That's almost it from us this year.

Thank you to all of you, your

donations really do make a

difference to the lives of children

and young people across the whole of

Scotland. To play is out, let the

again the magnificent Children in

Need Scottish choir. Enjoy. Thank

you, and goodbye.
