Using your money, Children in Need

supports projects all over Scotland.

0:02:300:02:35

In Dundee.

0:02:350:02:41

In Dundee. The Tamera looks after

children who are having a stressful

0:02:410:02:44

time due to illness. 12-year-old

Benny from Dundee sailed through

0:02:440:02:50

primary school loving sport and

spending time with friends. Until he

0:02:500:02:54

got cancer in May this year.

Doctors

diagnose it initially Aston

0:02:540:03:01

sillitis. The last thing we ever

expected to hear was the news that

0:03:010:03:06

he had leukaemia. Threw us into

complete turmoil.

My reaction wasn't

0:03:060:03:12

that severe. I was like, OK, that

doesn't sound too bad. I will get

0:03:120:03:17

through this, it will be easy.

Despite Benny's positive attitude,

0:03:170:03:21

it was clear he was seriously ill.

He was rushed to hospital 60 miles

0:03:210:03:26

away in Edinburgh.

Benny immediately

went into theatre to have the

0:03:260:03:31

Central line inserted in his chest

through which they could administer

0:03:310:03:36

the chemotherapy.

Benny spent a

month in hospital undergoing

0:03:360:03:40

intensive treatment. The doctors

hoped this would be enough to send

0:03:400:03:44

the cancer into remission.

Unfortunately, when Benny came back

0:03:440:03:49

from Edinburgh, some tests showed

Benny's leukaemia cells were more

0:03:490:03:54

severe in his bone marrow than was

first thought. They to switch him to

0:03:540:04:01

the hey rest regimes. The first year

of the three years will be the most

0:04:010:04:07

intensive.

Having chemotherapy makes

my arms and legs very weak. Too

0:04:070:04:13

tired to do anything. The one thing

I really hate is getting injected. I

0:04:130:04:18

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

my thigh, where I usually have to

0:04:180:04:24

get it, it hurts.

But the last straw

is just how much the chemotherapy's

0:04:240:04:31

affecting Benny appearance.

During

November, I get another five weeks

0:04:310:04:34

of chemotherapy. My hair will fall

out. I will lose the progress I've

0:04:340:04:40

been making. I don't know why I call

it progress. It's not even that

0:04:400:04:45

much.

We're in this together as a

family. We have to take it a day at

0:04:450:04:50

a time and see where we go from

there.

0:04:500:04:55

A lovely day for the sailing.

Yeah,

a good one, I think.

There's one

0:04:590:05:05

thing that's helping Benny and his

mum and dad to take their minds off

0:05:050:05:08

things. Your Children in Need

donations are helping the charity to

0:05:080:05:12

offer trips to families like Benny's

who've been suffering serious

0:05:120:05:16

illness.

After a long period maybe

in hospital undergoying some pretty

0:05:160:05:23

hefty treatments, it is just a great

time for families to get together

0:05:230:05:27

and have a sharing experience to

find their feet again.

It gives us

0:05:270:05:32

very good quality family time. We're

making memories. Oh, look, there's a

0:05:320:05:35

seal.

Yeah.

It's a seal of approval!

I'll get kicked off the boat! As

0:05:350:05:48

soon as we're out on the water you

tend to forget everything. That

0:05:480:05:53

Benny's leukaemia condition, every

hindrance we've been through for the

0:05:530:05:57

last two or three months, we all

felt completely relaxed.

This is us

0:05:570:06:07

well well and clear. Over.

You

actually feel a sense of freedom.

0:06:070:06:13

Just absolutely came at the right

time for all of us.

Today, as a

0:06:130:06:23

special treat, Taymara have invited

Benny's best pal on board.

I'm

0:06:230:06:28

really enjoying it. The fact I'm

with one of my friends. It's really

0:06:280:06:36

good to see this and it's all great.

0:06:360:06:44

Now, these mean streets have felt a

little bit safer in the last couple

0:07:010:07:05

of days. That's because the officers

from Scot squad have been patrol the

0:07:050:07:10

beat and making sure all is in

order. Of course, they bumped into a

0:07:100:07:15

few familiar faces along the way.

0:07:150:07:19

Children has a friend indeed in

Scottish police force commove

0:07:270:07:32

commissioner Cameron Mick Ellison.

The shield who protects Scotland is

0:07:320:07:39

visiting the nation's River City.

If

decent folk like you or I hear Matt

0:07:390:07:46

Baker's cycling on a rickshaw to

Glasgow in the hope to raise 4

0:07:460:07:53

billion pounds for Children in Need,

you think great. But mate baker is

0:07:530:07:59

in a windowless vehicle around the

corner, £4 million. He thinks

0:07:590:08:04

Baker's got the money. Before you

know where you are, there's a Bam

0:08:040:08:11

shoving the rickshaw into the River

Clyde and Matt Baker's tied up in

0:08:110:08:17

award robe. I can't allow Matt Baker

to go missing or aWal on my watch.

0:08:170:08:23

Otherwise, I'll have Sturgeon all

over me. I have a crack unit to

0:08:230:08:28

police this event and keep the bams

at bay. The great thing about an

0:08:280:08:33

event like this, it really gives a

lift to a disadvantaged community

0:08:330:08:39

like Shield Edge.

Who are you

calling disadvantaged. Some cheek on

0:08:390:08:44

you, big man. Doing your nose on us?

I'm not.

Did you come with that tall

0:08:440:08:51

lassie off the news. That Jackie

Bird?

Is Jackie Bird here? I

0:08:510:08:56

honestly didn't know.

You lot don't

know much about anything.

Ma, move

0:08:560:09:02

it, come on. What?

Do I know you?

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

0:09:020:09:10

been in trouble with the police.

Aye, and I'm Kim Kardashian!

Sorry

0:09:100:09:18

about that!

I'm sure I've met her.

0:09:180:09:27

about that!

I'm sure I've met her.

We're definitely going to make it on

0:09:270:09:30

the telly with this bad boy.

Advertising for the garage.

Defoe.

0:09:300:09:41

Advertising for the garage.

Defoe.

HUMMING I can't believe I miss

0:09:410:09:44

working with PC Hugh McArdle.

We

will have to ask you to move this

0:09:440:09:50

vehicle.

We're nearly done, pal.

She's not your pal, pal.

We need

0:09:500:09:56

this area clear and be on the

lookout for dodgy-looking characters

0:09:560:10:02

before The One Show rickshaw gets

here.

Plus there will be cameras. We

0:10:020:10:06

need to make sure nothing and no-one

shows Scotland in a bad light. So

0:10:060:10:12

beat it.

Think you're looking in the

wrong place for dodgy looking

0:10:120:10:17

characters, officers.

Will you

please deal with him.

Excuse me,

0:10:170:10:23

gents. Bobby, we talked about this.

The work I'm doing is overtime. That

0:10:230:10:31

means I'm not on desk duty at the

moment. That means, first of all,

0:10:310:10:35

I'm concerned about how you managed

to track me down and second of all,

0:10:350:10:39

you really need to go home now. OK.

I have something to say but I didn't

0:10:390:10:45

want to interrupt you. Is this a

good time?

Aye, we're done here.

0:10:450:10:50

Nice try, sunshine.

You watch

yourself, sunshine.

This is a police

0:10:500:10:56

matter.

Sorry officer.

We need to

get some practice in here.

Practice

0:10:560:11:03

for what?

The rickshaw challenges.

We're going to cycle along the river

0:11:030:11:11

with them.

Good luck getting a turn

of speed up on that one.

Could you

0:11:110:11:17

do any better.

Officers could well

beat you two in a race.

Me and Bob

0:11:170:11:23

will race you and officer Karen.

Your name's Bob?

Much as I'd like to

0:11:230:11:30

take you up on that, I will not be

racing against this chap. Totally

0:11:300:11:38

race with him, but...

No, not

happening. We're on duty.

0:11:380:11:45

I'm begging you, please do this?

No.

I haven't been outside the station

0:11:480:11:53

in five years. The only exercise I

get is the two stairs up and down to

0:11:530:12:00

the custody suite and I eat most of

the dinners on the way. I need this.

0:12:000:12:06

Please, let's have some fun?

No way.

I don't deploy this card lightly.

0:12:060:12:14

But I'm a Sergeant and I outrank

you.

My knowledge of the roads

0:12:140:12:20

outrangs yours, Sergeant.

What's the

scrap then? Are you chicken? What

0:12:200:12:27

did you say?

I believe PC is saying

the slightly shorter of the

0:12:270:12:38

gentlemen there cast as pegses on

your knowledge of the road. Are you

0:12:380:12:41

going to take that? Well, lads,

looks like you've got yourself a wee

0:12:410:12:46

race then. We'll be back.

0:12:460:12:51

So does your knowledge of roads

figure out where we'll get a

0:12:580:13:02

rickshaw at short notice?

We're the

Scottish police. We impound

0:13:020:13:05

everything.

Here, we've got the same

name?

Aye.

And, what's your name?

0:13:050:13:17

Angus.

Angus. I don't like him.

Cool!

0:13:170:13:27

More to come from the River Squad

team a little later on. A highlight

0:13:340:13:40

of each appeal night is our Children

in Need Choir. 1500 youngsters from

0:13:400:13:45

all over the country took part in

this year's musical masterpiece. In

0:13:450:13:51

Scotland, children from across

Ayrshire came together dedicating

0:13:510:13:53

their weekends and spare time

rehearsing. Our choirmaster was on

0:13:530:13:57

hand to work his magic. It wasn't

long before everyone was in fine

0:13:570:14:01

voice. This year, Scottish Children

in Need Choir is made up from pupils

0:14:010:14:13

of 30 schools across Ayrshire. The

musical director is on hand to make

0:14:130:14:18

sure everyone's prepared for the big

night.

This is our first chance to

0:14:180:14:21

bring young people from all over

Ayrshire, from the different schools

0:14:210:14:25

together, and have them singing as

one choir.

0:14:250:14:29

one choir.

# Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Over

0:14:290:14:35

The Rainbow's a fantastic song but

has challenges. There is an ok tav

0:14:350:14:40

jump. A big note. Make sure we get

that M

When we get it wrong, the

0:14:400:14:51

choirmaster doesn't shout at us. We

get to practise it and get it right.

0:14:510:14:58

Get the birds fly I over.

It is such

a beautiful song. It represents

0:14:580:15:02

courage and hope. If you want to go

on big adventures.

I've been

0:15:020:15:08

practising the words quite a lot at

home. I think my mum's starting to

0:15:080:15:12

get fed up because me and my brother

are singing it all the time.

One of

0:15:120:15:17

this year's schools is bringing an

additional element to the

0:15:170:15:20

performance.

Our school decided to

do signing language because one of

0:15:200:15:27

the boys has a Sis ability. We're

trying to teach him sing language.

0:15:270:15:33

This is my son Harris. He has

cerebral palsy. He's in the signing

0:15:330:15:37

choir. He's now able to sign with

his friends from the school and it's

0:15:370:15:43

just brought him on leaps and

bounds. He's just loving it.

We're

0:15:430:15:48

talking about how great it would be

if everyone could learn how to sign

0:15:480:15:51

it. That's what's happened this

morning. Would you like to learn how

0:15:510:15:56

to sign some of it?

ALL: Yes.

We'll do that as part of

0:15:560:16:01

our performance

ALL: Yes.

Seeing hundreds of people

0:16:010:16:05

signing, many for the first time,

was quite an experience.

0:16:050:16:17

Although they have been busy with

rehearsals, the pupils have still

0:16:220:16:27

found time for a spot of

fundraising.

Today we are singing to

0:16:270:16:31

raise money for Children in Need!

0:16:310:16:35

We had lots of fun and raised lots

of money.

Back at the rehearsal, the

0:16:390:16:46

hard work is paying off.

0:16:460:16:50

And now that the our wonderful

Scottish children's choir singing

0:17:020:17:05

and signing Over The Rainbow.

0:17:050:17:08

Since 2011 The One Show's Rickshaw

Challenge has raised a vast amount

0:21:290:21:36

for Children in Need and every penny

donated helps children and young

0:21:360:21:38

people who need it most. This year's

challenge kicked off on Thursday in

0:21:380:21:45

London. The new team of six riders,

all of whom have been supported by

0:21:450:21:51

BBC Children in Need funded

projects, at eight days to get to

0:21:510:21:55

Glasgow, no matter what.

The first

couple of miles down. Seven miles

0:21:550:21:59

in, our first problem and it's a big

one. The rickshaw is down.

0:21:590:22:11

one. The rickshaw is down. Goodbye,

Oxfordshire, hello, Warwickshire. We

0:22:110:22:12

have arrived in Morecambe.

For two

of the riders, the long and arduous

0:22:120:22:19

cycle to Scotland is a return home.

My name is Greg, I'm 18 from

0:22:190:22:24

Dunfermline. I'm originally from

Poland, when I was nine my dad died.

0:22:240:22:31

After that my mum started neglecting

me, she would not give me food and I

0:22:310:22:35

was always hungry.

My name is Shona.

My condition is degenerative. I just

0:22:350:22:45

wanted to be able to do something

like this while I still can.

We have

0:22:450:22:53

made it to Scotland! Over you go!

Team Rickshaw!

CHEERING

0:22:530:23:02

The

0:23:020:23:10

The total is £5,063,230!

We spoke to

you last year, who would have but

0:23:100:23:17

you would be doing something like

this? Describe it to me.

It was

0:23:170:23:22

tough at times but also exciting

because we bonded together as a team

0:23:220:23:26

and got through all those miles.

You

said you wanted an adventure, did

0:23:260:23:32

you get one?

Yes, definitely. I

wanted something that would

0:23:320:23:39

challenge me. And that's what I got.

You have been astonishing, you have

0:23:390:23:46

kept everybody going and raised a

phenomenal amount of money. What

0:23:460:23:49

would you like to say to these

amazing young people?

They are all

0:23:490:23:53

incredible in their own right. This

challenge, it is nothing in

0:23:530:23:58

comparison to what they have already

been through in their lives. I have

0:23:580:24:02

thoroughly enjoyed every moment

riding alongside you guys and I will

0:24:020:24:05

miss you all, I really well.

Rickshaw Riders, we salute you!

0:24:050:24:14

Still to come, we have part two of

our special collaboration between

0:24:140:24:18

the cast of River City and Scot

Squad, River Squad. A special

0:24:180:24:24

performance by Katie Melua of the

official Children in Need single,

0:24:240:24:29

Fields of Gold. Another chance to

hear the wonderful Scottish

0:24:290:24:31

children's choir, plus we continue

to look at all the Children in Need

0:24:310:24:38

funded projects that benefit from

your donations. One of the most

0:24:380:24:45

important ways your money can help

is to allow young people with a

0:24:450:24:49

variety of disabilities and complex

needs simply to have some fun.

0:24:490:24:53

Children in Need support projects

like Kudla bright sparks in

0:24:530:24:58

Bonnyrigg to do that, providing

activities which provide laughter

0:24:580:25:03

and relaxation.

Well done, poppy.

Harry is a happy, chatty

0:25:030:25:12

seven-year-old but his journey has

not been easy. He was a bright,

0:25:120:25:19

bubbly baby but when he was two he

seemed to change overnight.

He

0:25:190:25:25

seemed to have a few words to start

off with mum and ball and cart but

0:25:250:25:31

they suddenly disappeared.

Harry

stopped trying to talk or make eye

0:25:310:25:35

contact.

He has always had a light

in his eye but that went.

The

0:25:350:25:41

doctors diagnosed severe autism.

He

didn't even seem to want to be in

0:25:410:25:46

our world. It was like he was gone

for a good while and I know that

0:25:460:25:52

sounds stupid, sorry...

Then it was

discovered that as well as autism

0:25:520:25:59

Harry had a rare chromosomal

disorder.

He has a genetic condition

0:25:590:26:05

that affects his growth. He is a

very big boy for his age and he

0:26:050:26:10

grows up quite an alarming rate. He

is seven years old at the moment he

0:26:100:26:15

has size five adult feet, he is

almost as tall as myself. Autism is

0:26:150:26:20

hard enough but when you factor in

his wake and growth issues, it makes

0:26:200:26:24

it very difficult.

One of the

biggest challenges of Harry's

0:26:240:26:31

condition is managing his insatiable

appetite.

Trying to stop him eating

0:26:310:26:35

is a 24-hour a day task and it is

not just about food. I can struggle

0:26:350:26:41

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

own, I can come up to find him

0:26:410:26:46

sitting eating toilet rolls like

their apples. He still in the strike

0:26:460:26:50

from his brother but he ate the

cardboard as well! It's not funny

0:26:500:26:54

but sometimes you do have to laugh.

The demands of Harry's autism and

0:26:540:27:02

genetic disorder began to make

family life very hard.

Simple things

0:27:020:27:07

like just nipping to the supermarket

to get shopping. He can be upset,

0:27:070:27:12

distressed, he can sit down and

refused to get up. He can be

0:27:120:27:19

emotional, he can bite himself when

he is angry and upset.

As his

0:27:190:27:25

behaviour became more challenging,

Gemma began losing her confidence.

0:27:250:27:32

You do withdraw, and especially when

they first get diagnosed, it takes

0:27:320:27:35

you a while to get a thick skin to

things. People stare and make

0:27:350:27:41

comments and look. It was incredibly

difficult to deal with and I would

0:27:410:27:45

avoid going out or taking him places

rather than having to face that. It

0:27:450:27:50

is lonely. Especially at first.

Everything changes, you don't know

0:27:500:27:57

how but everything has changed and

you don't know where the future is

0:27:570:28:00

lying and you don't know what to do.

I know people will say it is not the

0:28:000:28:04

end of the world but when you see

your older son joining these clubs

0:28:040:28:08

and going to school and doing

typical things, and you know that is

0:28:080:28:12

never going to be for your younger

son, it absolutely breaks your

0:28:120:28:15

heart.

0:28:150:28:18

Hello!

Just as they were feeling at

their lowest comedy family found

0:28:210:28:28

Bright Sparks, a local support group

for families with disabilities --

0:28:280:28:32

feeling at their lowest, the family

found Bright Sparks.

They appeared

0:28:320:28:37

at our door very unsure and anxious.

From first walking in you just

0:28:370:28:45

felt...

You felt you were somewhere

where your child could be the way

0:28:450:28:50

they are, nobody looked at you any

different.

He loves coming here, the

0:28:500:28:55

sensory room and the playroom.

Thanks to your donations to Children

0:28:550:29:02

in Need, Bright Sparks were able to

provide harried with speech and

0:29:020:29:05

music therapy which helped him find

his voice again -- provide harried.

0:29:050:29:11

When he arrived he was non-verbal.

When he arrived he was non-verbal.

0:29:110:29:15

-- Harry.

You need to stand here.

Now he is chatting away and very

0:29:150:29:24

confident which we are proud of

because we have been part of that.

I

0:29:240:29:27

really credit the physique therapy

he got with helping him massively,

0:29:270:29:32

to come back into our world.

That's

looking good.

I like the cake.

You

0:29:320:29:40

made the cake? Wow! We have

absolutely never looked back, for us

0:29:400:29:49

finding Bright Sparks has been one

of the best things to happen to us

0:29:490:29:54

for Harry and myself.

I give you a

big hug.

0:29:540:29:56

Now, let's return to River Squad and

see how they're getting on with

0:30:150:30:19

their very own Rickshaw Challenge.

0:30:190:30:28

their very own Rickshaw Challenge.

National man Cameron Mick Ellison is

0:30:280:30:32

getting to know One Stop prior

righter.

Were you at the launch in

0:30:320:30:40

Oban? Launch in Geneva? The highland

games. I was the Chieftan?

No. I ran

0:30:400:30:51

an ice cream van. Maybe you tried my

double nuggets?

No. Wait, 1987

0:30:510:30:59

Joshua Trees tour. I was a rookie

doing crowd control. You were at

0:30:590:31:05

front of stage. I caught you. You

don't remember? There's no reason

0:31:050:31:08

you should remember.

Of course I to.

Aye.

Still haven't found what I'm

0:31:080:31:15

looking for?

Sorry?

That was the

song they were singing when you

0:31:150:31:21

leapt from that stage and I caught

you in these constable's arms. I

0:31:210:31:27

never forget a face. Or a smile.

Listen, I don't suppose...

What's

0:31:270:31:34

happening over there?

Spotting a

breach of the peace, the chief goes

0:31:340:31:39

to lay down the law.

Remember, the

reputation of the Scottish police

0:31:390:31:44

force is resting on your shoulders.

Do not let me down.

Remember, the

0:31:440:31:51

reputation of Shieldinch is hanging

in the balance. Don't let your mammy

0:31:510:31:55

down, son.

It's only donkey Kong.

We're doing this.

Aye, aye.

0:31:550:32:05

The battle commences.

CHEERING

0:32:100:32:15

The raisin tense fist. Race

intensifies.

0:32:150:32:23

The results are almost in. Bear with

us!

I think the Shieldinch boys just

0:32:290:32:39

edged it.

Oh, well done, boys. Wait

fill I tell Dougie.

Dougie?

I am sea

0:32:390:32:46

a fella.

Oh, right. You're spoken

for?

Aye, yeah, it's early days, but

0:32:460:32:54

he's a keeper.

Good. Good, good,

good.

0:32:540:32:59

So I think by allowing the little

Glaswegian street people to win, I

0:33:030:33:07

think we've given a boost to this

disadvantaged community ergo the

0:33:070:33:14

real winners today, the Scottish

police force. Policing is all about

0:33:140:33:17

hearts and minds. Today, we've won

the Hearts and Minds of the

0:33:170:33:21

Shieldinch community. I'm going to

leave the good people of Shieldinch

0:33:210:33:25

now and head upriver to Pacific Quay

where apparently the leading weather

0:33:250:33:32

persons Judith Ralston is attempting

to eighth 37 boiled eggs in 30

0:33:320:33:37

seconds. I will get up there and

secure the perimeter. What's that?

0:33:370:33:43

Quail's eggs? Not nearly as

impressive. Anyone can eat that main

0:33:430:33:49

quail's eggs.

0:33:490:33:52

Thank you to the cast of river city

and Scot Squad for giving their time

0:33:550:34:01

and talent to Children in Need. The

money you donate helps support young

0:34:010:34:05

people when they need it most. There

are an estimated 29,000 young

0:34:050:34:12

careers in Scotland dedicating their

lives to looking after loved ones.

0:34:120:34:15

The donations you make to Children

in Need goes towards counselling,

0:34:150:34:21

respite and fun days out for

self-lets young people like

0:34:210:34:24

Georgina. Here's her story.

0:34:240:34:28

Eight-year-old Georgina lives at

home with her mum, Laura, and her

0:34:310:34:35

little brother.

I'm Georgina. This

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

0:34:350:34:46

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

is.

Archie was born with most of his

0:34:460:34:52

brain missing which has left himself

easterly physically disabled and

0:34:520:34:56

blind.

The doctors said he would

only live up to five months. He's

0:34:560:35:01

five years old now. Aren't you baby?

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

0:35:010:35:09

can smile and he can go ah and

stuff. And it's cute. Yeah.

He needs

0:35:090:35:16

to be cared for 24 hours a day.

For

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

0:35:160:35:25

Archie could wake up coffee and

being sick. You have to jump out of

0:35:250:35:28

bed. No chance to brush your teeth

or having a shower. A lot of

0:35:280:35:34

lifting. Bringing him into the

kitchen. Getting his meals set up.

0:35:340:35:38

Trying to feed him. There's some

nights where he'll sit in his chair

0:35:380:35:42

and he's happy. There's others where

he's constantly needing attention.

0:35:420:35:48

The days can be really, really hard.

But Georgie usually gives me a hand

0:35:480:35:53

to help with all that.

Georgina has

developed a special bond with Archie

0:35:530:35:58

and has found her own way to

entertain him while her mum's busy.

0:35:580:36:04

entertain him while her mum's busy.

# You know that I'm still standing.

0:36:040:36:06

# You know that I'm still standing.

I think she misses out on a lot of

0:36:060:36:11

one to to one. Even when you're

having one to one you're still

0:36:110:36:15

looking after Archie. It is a

challenge. There are some times when

0:36:150:36:18

you just kind of go, it's been a

couple of weeks and I've not spent a

0:36:180:36:23

proper evening with her. It breaks

my heart. It's hard.

Archie's

0:36:230:36:27

condition is life-limiting. Over the

last year, he's had some very

0:36:270:36:34

serious medical setbacks.

We nearly

lost him twice last year. Archie

0:36:340:36:37

went into a 20-hour seizure attack.

We couldn't get him out of it. He

0:36:370:36:42

was at the point of basically, the

Meds were going to kill him or the

0:36:420:36:47

seizure was going to kill him. That

was the first time, I think, really,

0:36:470:36:50

that it hit close to home how

quickly he could go.

For young

0:36:500:36:56

careers like Georgina, it's not

always the amount of practical

0:36:560:36:59

support they give that takes its

toll, often the hardest thing is how

0:36:590:37:04

much they worry.

I mostly feel

worried at night-time or at school.

0:37:040:37:10

I think when I come home from school

Archie might have a problem, what's

0:37:100:37:16

it called? Maybe like pass away.

0:37:160:37:25

But when things feel tough, there is

help on hand. Your donations to

0:37:310:37:38

Children in Need help sterling young

careers give Georgina and other

0:37:380:37:42

young careers some all important

time-out with friends.

You now go

0:37:420:37:45

up.

Yeah.

Then, you will also...

Gina is a confident, fun young

0:37:450:37:55

bubbly young girl. Coming on trips

like this brings her out of her

0:37:550:38:00

Shell and gives her the chance to be

the little girl she wants to be.

It

0:38:000:38:04

really helps. I get to spend more

time with people I know have the

0:38:040:38:08

same problems. It makes me feel

happy I'm not the only person.

All

0:38:080:38:13

the kids here understand what it is

like to have that extra

0:38:130:38:16

responsibility at home where

somebody's ill and how important it

0:38:160:38:19

is for them to come on trips like

this and get that time away.

Oh, my

0:38:190:38:24

gosh.

They get on so well. A

You've

done awesome to get up there. Get

0:38:240:38:31

ready to jump. We here to

Er

encourage them.

0:38:310:38:36

It was a bit scary. It looks like

it's not that high. But when you get

0:38:370:38:42

up there, it is pretty high. This

was awesome.

Up next is Katie Melua

0:38:420:38:53

performing the official Children in

Need single Fields of Gold.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:220:42:29

Just one text from you can change a

child's life. Children in Need

0:42:290:42:34

currently fund 62 projects across

the UK which help children deal with

0:42:340:42:38

bereavement and stress. When

12-year-old Doddy lost his father to

0:42:380:42:45

a genetic condition, the trauma

turned his life upside down. Thanks

0:42:450:42:53

to projects like Stable Life it

helped him. Doddy is 12. A

0:42:530:43:00

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

dad, Mark.

He enjoyed making stuff

0:43:000:43:04

with me. Doing stuff in the garage.

We made ponds in the garden. Put

0:43:040:43:12

fences up and stuff. My train set

was my grandpa's. Me and my dad had

0:43:120:43:16

it. We turned it into what it is

now.

Nantes before he died, Mark

0:43:160:43:26

started to feel unwell.

He always

had a stomach ache, feeling sick.

0:43:260:43:32

They did various fests on him. We

got a phone call from the

0:43:320:43:37

consultant. The consultant said Mark

was in end stage liver failure but

0:43:370:43:41

they didn't know why.

Because of the

liver problem, he just went really

0:43:410:43:45

yellow. We could still have fun with

it though. We kept buying Simpson's

0:43:450:43:51

merchandise for him.

He was turning

into homer Simpson.

Yeah, always

0:43:510:43:56

trying to get the fun out of

everything.

He took it all in good

0:43:560:44:00

humour, he really did. It really

came out of the blue. To be told he

0:44:000:44:06

needed a liver transplant. He was

unconscious for three days.

I found

0:44:060:44:12

it really difficult to visit him

when he was like that. It was so

0:44:120:44:16

upsetting.

He was second on the

transplant list. Unfortunately, we

0:44:160:44:21

ran out of time and he Ziad on 23rd

February. -- he died on 23rd

0:44:210:44:28

February.

To make a fresh start

after Mark's death, sues and and

0:44:280:44:37

Doddy moved from England to the

Scottish Borders to be near family

0:44:370:44:41

and a place with happy memories.

Dad

was always behind the camera. We've

0:44:410:44:46

not too many photos of him. He was

the one who took all the photos.

But

0:44:460:44:51

taking on a new school and new

friends while still grieving for his

0:44:510:44:56

dad proved too much for him.

It was

overwhelming. I became really sad

0:44:560:45:01

and upset all the time. I just

wanted to sit in my room all by

0:45:010:45:05

myself.

He became shy, quiet.

I got

anxious about doing everything.

0:45:050:45:09

Sometimes aggressive.

I was getting

really ill from it.

Doddy started

0:45:090:45:16

having uncontrollable panic attacks.

You were feeling sick. You were

0:45:160:45:21

trembling and sweating. Just hyper

ventilating. Getting chest pains,

0:45:210:45:27

weren't you?

I couldn't even go to

bed. That's how bad it was.

It could

0:45:270:45:31

be 1.00 in the morning. We'd be

sitting in the bathroom just

0:45:310:45:36

counting one two ten and starting

again, counting one to ten trying to

0:45:360:45:41

get through it. He just disappeared.

He went away somewhere that I didn't

0:45:410:45:47

know where it was. It made me feel

scared because I should be looking

0:45:470:45:51

after him. But I couldn't take his

pain away.

0:45:510:45:55

Just when it felt like he could not

go on, Doddy was introduced to

0:46:000:46:05

Stable Life. Your donations help

fund this horse Centre project which

0:46:050:46:09

helps young people in distress.

When

he first came with us he was very

0:46:090:46:15

anxious and almost closed down and

he was a young person who seemed to

0:46:150:46:20

want to hold everything together but

had forgotten how to have fun and

0:46:200:46:25

just be himself. You find a click

with some ponies more than others

0:46:250:46:30

and make a real connection.

The

first I Kinnara and started grooming

0:46:300:46:34

the horse as I was riding a horse

called Danny -- the first time I

0:46:340:46:38

came here. I knew that this was the

way I was going to do it, to calm

0:46:380:46:45

myself down and get less stress.

Loving his weekly riding lessons,

0:46:450:46:51

Doddy really pushed himself to take

on new challenges.

As soon as they

0:46:510:46:56

asked me if I wanted to canter, I

was like yeah, I can do this and

0:46:560:47:01

that was a turning point. Sometimes

I couldn't leave the house, I was so

0:47:010:47:06

anxious about doing new things but

since I have cantered that hasn't

0:47:060:47:10

really happened.

I'm so proud of

him, the way he has come on in the

0:47:100:47:14

last year, he has changed immensely.

He is now oozing with confidence in

0:47:140:47:21

all areas and showing what potential

he has, he is an absolute treasure.

0:47:210:47:26

They gave me my son back, he is back

to being the Doddy I know, confident

0:47:260:47:32

and self assured and caring. He is

Doddy, back to being Doddy again.

0:47:320:47:39

Your donations to Children in Need

help to support a myriad of

0:48:020:48:07

charities across Scotland for so

many children and continue to

0:48:070:48:10

support them into adulthood. A

number of young people have

0:48:100:48:13

benefited so much from Children in

Need projects that they wanted to

0:48:130:48:17

give something back. Here are their

inspiring stories. Every year we

0:48:170:48:23

make films that show how children

all round Scotland are being helped

0:48:230:48:27

by Children in Need. But this film

is different. This is about four

0:48:270:48:34

young people whose lives were

changed by Children in Need and now

0:48:340:48:37

they are giving something back. This

is Jordan. The Children in Need

0:48:370:48:48

funded project Jack and Jill has

been giving him a helping hand since

0:48:480:48:52

he was ten, offering him all sorts

of activities from a weekly youth

0:48:520:48:56

club to day trips in the holidays.

Our main focus is to reduce social

0:48:560:49:03

isolation and increase the feeling

of pride in young people.

Now he is

0:49:030:49:09

17 and he is paying back.

Being

helpful, and with my family.

Jordan

0:49:090:49:18

is giving his time helping to run

the laughter Yoga class.

Does

0:49:180:49:24

anybody know what that is?

It makes

you laugh.

Roller-coaster.

0:49:240:49:34

you laugh.

Roller-coaster.

We

researched about laughter yoga and

0:49:340:49:35

it is about ringing a bit more

happiness and joy which helps to

0:49:350:49:40

reduce the chances of mental ill

health.

0:49:400:49:47

health. Having volunteers like

Jordan means they can show other

0:49:470:49:52

young people just how much skills

you can develop as a young person.

0:49:520:49:56

He volunteers at many of our

fundraising might as well and he

0:49:560:49:59

really is an all-round super

volunteer and Jack and Jill would be

0:49:590:50:03

lost without him.

0:50:030:50:04

And in Glasgow there is Dylan. After

he and his twin sister were born,

0:50:080:50:16

Dylan suffered a series of fits that

meant he would never walk. But it

0:50:160:50:20

has not stopped him dancing.

0:50:200:50:27

has not stopped him dancing.

Independence is an inclusive dance

0:50:270:50:28

company based in last go. It is to

give dance opportunities to people

0:50:280:50:35

who usually or in the past have been

excluded from that kind of

0:50:350:50:38

opportunity.

If I had not joined

Independence what I would not think

0:50:380:50:43

to dance and they have completely

changed my life and it is amazing to

0:50:430:50:47

be part of the company.

And now

Dylan is giving something back.

We

0:50:470:50:56

quite often have fundraising

weekends where we go and shake hands

0:50:560:51:01

and ask people to donate and he

always commits his time to this and

0:51:010:51:05

raises a lot of money we can put

back into the company.

They give us

0:51:050:51:12

the tins and by the end mine is

full.

A lot of time it is something

0:51:120:51:19

missing in their lives come and

dance gives them control and

0:51:190:51:23

volunteering and giving back gives

them that sense of control as well.

0:51:230:51:27

And in Dundee there is Rhys who is

16 and has been coming to the ADHD

0:51:290:51:38

support group for two years.

The

first day I went I remember going in

0:51:380:51:43

and absolutely loving it and I

didn't want to go home. Everybody

0:51:430:51:48

welcomed me in and made me feel like

I was the same as them.

Rees suffers

0:51:480:51:56

from hyperactivity, anxiety and

difficulty concentrating.

So many

0:51:560:51:59

people don't understand it, it is an

invisible illness and a chemical

0:51:590:52:04

imbalance in the brain. Every kid is

affected differently.

Meeting others

0:52:040:52:10

with the same condition has made all

the difference.

They share their

0:52:100:52:16

experience with you and you can

share your experience. It has made

0:52:160:52:21

me happier, happier with myself

because I used to think that I've

0:52:210:52:25

got ADHD and I'm a weirdo. If I

hadn't gone that I wouldn't be what

0:52:250:52:29

I am today. It changes you, makes

you your true self.

Coming here has

0:52:290:52:35

helped so much he has chosen to

volunteer with younger kids.

0:52:350:52:42

volunteer with younger kids.

Once he

started his volunteering, the

0:52:420:52:44

confidence in him was just

brilliant, amazing.

I love

0:52:440:52:47

volunteering because I get to go in

and show the positives of having

0:52:470:52:53

ADHD. You got a never-ending supply

of energy! It is amazing to have it

0:52:530:53:00

and you wouldn't be you without it.

0:53:000:53:02

In Glasgow there is Eddie. He has

been attending the Possibilities

0:53:060:53:15

youth club since he was eight.

We

have social groups, arts and crafts

0:53:150:53:20

and on top of that we provide

volunteer opportunities.

It was a

0:53:200:53:25

refuge for Eddie who had been

bullied at school because of his

0:53:250:53:28

disability.

It is water on the

brain, it affects my head.

0:53:280:53:38

brain, it affects my head. It would

always affect my head and I would

0:53:380:53:40

have to go to hospital and stuff.

It

is the youth club that helped him

0:53:400:53:45

come out of himself again.

I was

quite shy. Sitting in the corner and

0:53:450:53:51

I didn't know anybody. But I started

to know everybody and everybody was

0:53:510:53:57

friends. I progressed myself and got

more confident and confident.

Eddie

0:53:570:54:01

is so grateful for the boost he has

been given that he is now

0:54:010:54:04

volunteering, organising bus runs

into the youth club.

I have been

0:54:040:54:09

waiting half an hour!

Know you

haven't! Eddie has given loads back.

0:54:090:54:19

He is that vibrant character that

can get everybody going. As soon as

0:54:190:54:23

they get on the bus.

I come here

every Tuesday. It makes me feel

0:54:230:54:33

brilliant because I'm doing

something, I'm not sitting in the

0:54:330:54:37

house constantly, I'm out

volunteering and stuff. I wake up in

0:54:370:54:43

the morning and go yes, it's

Tuesday! Brilliant!

And this is just

0:54:430:54:51

the tip of the iceberg. There are

young people all round Scotland

0:54:510:54:55

working tirelessly to support

Children in Need funded projects.

0:54:550:55:00

Volunteers, we salute you.

0:55:000:55:02

That's almost it from us this year.

Thank you to all of you, your

0:55:300:55:35

donations really do make a

difference to the lives of children

0:55:350:55:38

and young people across the whole of

Scotland. To play is out, let the

0:55:380:55:43

again the magnificent Children in

Need Scottish choir. Enjoy. Thank

0:55:430:55:48

you, and goodbye.
