The event champions the incredible work of Caudwell Children whilst shining a light on the endless benefits of activities, clubs, and classes for families and children.

During the week 12th to 18th May, thousands of children and activity leaders will take part in sponsored challenges to raise awareness and fundraise.  Since the beginning together we have raised more than £260,000 during National Children's Activities Week!

Join in and follow #STANDUP4SEND.

Learn more about our friends at Caudwell Children and how every pound raised really does go a long way to help disabled and autistic children and their families.

Sam Bailey, former X-Factor winner, and Mum of the Year winner in 2016, is the official ambassador for National Children’s Activities Week 2024.

In 2020, Sam’s son, now 13, was diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia. Since receiving this diagnosis, Sam has been dedicated to raising awareness of her son’s conditions and is a public advocate about the importance of family life with autism.

Sam says "Events like National Children's Activities Week help educate others about autism and promote inclusive play.  It also give children a taste of the outside world and allows them to take part in fun activities which also involve the family."
