BBC Children in Need's Core Costs funding stream supports essential organisational and administrative spending. These are the key expenses required to keep your organisation running.
BBC Children in Need know it’s sometimes harder to secure funding for organisational running costs whilst delivering projects for children and young people. If you need funding for the types of costs listed below, or for other “Core” costs that would help to strengthen your organisation’s ability to support children and young people, then this might be the programme to choose. Core funding isn’t about delivering a specific project or service, it’s about having a solid foundation to do so.
Core Costs funding can be spent on your organisation’s central day-to-day operations. These might include, for example:
