ALL across Basingstoke and Deane people are dressing up in wacky costumes, doing silly challenges or hosting events all in the name of Children in Need.

The money raised from the events held across the borough will help provide grants to projects in the UK which focus on children and young people who are disadvantaged.

Events have been taking place at schools, colleges, nurseries, companies and even Basingstoke's hospital.

Have you held an event for Children in Need? Send us your pictures and how much you have raised to newsdesk@basingstokegazette.co.uk.
