Children in Need 2014 was a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for the charity Children in Need. It was the 34th such appeal, culminating in a live broadcast on BBC One and BBC Two on the evening of Friday 14 November until the early hours of Saturday 15 November. The broadcast was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan, with Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Rochelle Humes and Nick Grimshaw as co-hosts. Shane Richie hosted the period the show was broadcast on BBC Two. The show was broadcast from BBC Elstree Centre but also includes regular regional opt-outs.[1] Wogan didn't present the 2015 appeal because of ill health, and later died in January 2016, making this his last one.
The culmination of Children in Need was the live telethon broadcast on BBC One on 14 November from the BBC Elstree Centre.[2] Viewers could donate throughout the night by telephone, online, the 'iPudsey' mobile app or at a later date from amenities such as banks or by post.[3]
