Yesterday our High Value Partnerships team held our annual Partner Day event – an opportunity to bring together our wonderful partners to thank them for their incredible support. It was brilliant to see everybody in person to celebrate what we have achieved together over the past year and to share and discuss ideas on how we can make our 2024 Appeal even more special. We also heard from two incredible BBC Children in Need funded projects about the inspiring work that they do with young people in their community. Huge thanks to Damon and Tom from Foundation 92 and Mikel, Tia, Stephen, Travon from The Music Works (Gloucestershire). A big Pudsey thank you to everyone who attended, to Blue Peter’s wonderful Abby Cook for presenting the day, our friends at Hotel Football - A Tribute Portfolio Hotel for so kindly hosting us, and to our generous partner Greggs who fuelled our morning with their delicious treats!
