There are multiple ways you can accept donations for BBC Children in Need. The easiest is by card through our Donations Page.
You can also create your own payment item in ParentPay in order to collect donations. Please note that this will require you to settle funds with BBC Children in Need directly.
The simplest way to securely accept donations via ParentPay is by using our free donations page. Free of charge for all schools raising money for BBC Children in Need, this donations page is unique to your school and accessible from any device or computer. So, all you need to do is get in touch to tell us you’re raising money for BBC Children in Need and leave the rest to us.
Note: Applications for a free donations page close 07/11/25 but there are other ways to collect donations if you are a ParentPay customer, please note that this will require you to settle funds with BBC Children in Need directly.
ParentPay do offer an alternative to donations pages which our support team can take you through if you contact them, however, our secure and easy-to-use donations pages are what we recommend for collecting donations.
Funds raised using the alternative way would be dealt with separately from funds raised via donation pages and will require you to settle funds with BBC Children in Need directly.
As your donations page is bespoke to your school, it typically takes up to 5 working days to set up. We will let you know as soon as it is ready.
Note: Applications for a donations page close 07/11/25.
All donations pages for BBC Children in Need will stop taking donations 05/12/25.
Any donations made through our Donations Page are settled directly to BBC Children in Need. Say good-bye to counting cash and posting cheques!
Please note donations received using a payment item will be settled to your school bank account and you will need to transfer these donations to BBC Children in Need yourself.
Yes, parents can easily add Gift Aid for any BBC Children in Need donations made through the ParentPay donations page. They simply need to tick the Gift Aid box at check-out.
Our reporting function means you can easily export details on donations, including the total amount from your ParentPay dashboard.
If you are not currently a ParentPay customer, your donation report will be provided at the end of the fundraising.
ParentPay never makes a profit on any donations made to any of our charity partners. However, we must charge a very small amount to cover our costs – BBC Children in Need will receive 99.25% of your donations.
Please note: 99.25% of the donations from donations pages goes to Children in Need. ParentPay does not profit from donations made. For all other donation methods, the standard ParentPay Payment Service Fee applies.
