She will perform a medley of songs, representing a project that supports individuals with learning disabilities and autism. Her involvement highlights the impact of the charity's funding on local initiatives.
Several other charities are benefiting significantly from Children in Need grants.

Similarly, Hart & Rushmoor Young Carers in north Hampshire receives grants to offer emotional support and respite to young carers.
