To mark the occasion, we are looking back at the creative and unusual ways local residents have supported the charity throughout the years.
Every year, the people of Sheffield rally behind Children in Need, generating vital funds for young people, local charities, and worthy causes across the globe.
From fancy dress and fun runs to leg waxing, here is a nostalgic look at Sheffield’s fundraising highlights spanning from the late 1980s through to the 2010s.
Do you recognise any of these fundraisers from over the years?
