It's that time of year again - ����ý Children in Need is back for another fundraising spectacular, and we want to know if you are getting involved.

Since its first major appeal in 1980, Children In Need has raised more than £1billion for charities and projects that aim to help disadvantaged young people live better lives.

This year, the big event takes place on Friday 17 November and the televised appeal kicks off at 7pm on ����ý One.

There are already loads of fundraising events underway this year, including Joe Wicks' burpee challenge.

Often schools get involved in fundraising, so we want to know if you are taking part in any bake sales, doing the burpee challenge or dressing up.

What is happening on the night?

For all you Doctor Who fans, there's a special treat in store - the fourteenth Doctor, David Tennant will return soon, and there will be an exclusive behind the scenes look at the latest episode.

Former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne will be performing her new song "My Love" for the first time on TV, plus the UK's Junior Eurovision act STAND UNIQU3 will be performing their song 'Back To Life'.

Plus, there will be a special performance from West End star Merryl Ansah who will be singing a song from the upcoming Disney film 'Wish'.

And the Children in Need choir are back and will be singing "You Raise Me Up".
