Supporting BBC Children in Need

3 minute read

This week, Harri Griffiths, Assistant Engineer at NPL, is joining BBC Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans for part of his 4 Nations Cycle Challenge for BBC Children in Need.  

Owain’s five-day cycle mission will see him pedal nearly 400 miles through Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and his home country of Wales. Harri will take on his own cycling challenge before joining Owain for part of his epic route through hilly Wales. 

Harri is an ambassador for The Brain Tumour Charity, a charity supported by BBC Children in Need funding, which gives children, young people and their families practical support and a community. 

Harri is one of four inspirational young people who have received support from charities funded by BBC Children in Need and are now taking on incredible challenges to help make a difference to young lives as members of The One Show’s Challenge Squad. 

Owain Wyn Evans said: “Every child, wherever they live, deserves someone by their side - someone who listens, supports and believes in them. I’m proud to support BBC Children in Need to help more children build confidence, feel hopeful about the future and know they’re not facing challenges alone." 

“It’s a real privilege to meet Harri and young people like him, who have benefitted from support and now want to give back. Having Harri by my side will keep me pedalling. I know it’s going to be a tough challenge for both of us.” 

You can find out more about Harri’s story on the BBC Children in Need show on Friday 13 November on BBC One and iPlayer.
