BBC's Children in Need annual appeal show returns to our screens tonight in a jam-packed evening of entertainment, in the hopes of raising as much money for the charity as possible.
The charity's mission is to help ensure every child in the UK is safe, happy, secure and has the opportunities they need to reach their potential.
This year's theme is 'Together, We Can,' aiming to show disadvantaged children that they are not alone.

The show tonight will be live from the studio in Salford and will be presented by a star-studded line-up including Ade Adepitan MBE, Mel Giedroyc, Graham Norton, Chris Ramsey and Alex Scott MBE.
The money raised through the show will help support local charities and projects which are providing essential frontline help to children and young people in communities throughout the UK.
The yearly spectacular show will air on BBC One at 7pm and will be on for three hours.
Tonight's show will see play-a-long singing game show, I Can See Your Voice, return for another year which is a special lip sync challenge. Paddy McGuinness will host the game and be joined by celebrity investigators Jimmy Carr, Alison Hammond and Amanda Holden.
Danny Dyer will also present a special edition of the popular BBC One gameshow, The Wall. This game will see CBBC TV presenters Sam and Mark face tricky questions in a round of free fall, taking on The Wall, in an attempt to win money for children and young people facing disadvantages across the UK.
There will also be a special show of the notorious Graham Norton red chair, where celebrities take a seat and their fate is decided by a group of children who preside over the big lever, and soap stars from Eastenders and Corrie will collide in a special edition of First Dates.
Just like every other year on the show, it will feature iconic musical performances. In tonight's line-up you should expect to see Ed Sheeran, Tom Grennan and the cast of the UK Tour of 9 to 5 The Musical.
The BBC Children in Need 2021 single, a reimagined version of Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac by Niall Horan and Anne-Marie, will also be played on the programme, and is also available for pre-order.
The main aim of the annual show is to raise money for Children in Need and there have already been quite a few fundraising challenges.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor hosted a Kitchen Disco Danceathon where she kept up the moved for a whole 24 hours, raising more than £1 million.
And BBC weather presenter Owain Wyn Evans took part in a 24-hour Drumathon where he raised more than £3 million.
Schools and workplaces across the country have also held charity events to help raise millions.
