Blue Peter, the longest running children’s television show, has announced the charities set to benefit from what it hopes will be its biggest appeal yet. ContinYou, Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens and Save the Children will use the cash raised to help young people across the world. To celebrate Blue Peter’s 50th anniversary, the appeal aims to help children across four continents, including those in the UK, to grow and eat better food. Editor of Blue Peter Tim Levell said he is delighted the three charities came up with an exciting proposal to inspire millions of young viewers to make a difference. “These charities really embraced the idea of working together to come up with an appeal that will have a lasting impact on children both here and abroad,” he added. Launching in November, further details of the appeal will be announced on Blue Peter, including which countries will be involved and what children can do to help.
