A televised rickshaw challenge will return to Borehamwood for this year’s Children in Need.

Beginning on November 7 in Manchester, rickshaw riders will undertake a 450 mile ‘Salford to Walford’ journey across England, finishing at the EastEnders set during the live Children in Need appeal on November 14.

The group will ride through Borehamwood on the night of the live appeal, when the team will be seeking the support of neighbours of Elstree Studios to help cheer them on toward their final destination.

BBC's One Show presenters will be offering their support and advice throughout the challenge, with Matt Baker reporting live from the road as he cycles alongside the team, and Alex Jones will broadcast from The One Show studios.

Presenter Matt Baker said: “We’re hoping that Team Rickshaw will raise more than ever, so the pressure is really on for the riders. And of course, to the Great British public, we need your support.

“It’s such a fantastic fundraiser, where people who’ve benefited from the charity first-hand can really give back, and this year we’ll be getting much more of an insight into their own stories, which brings opportunities and challenges of its own.

“Alex and I have both previously taken on the Rickshaw Challenge so we understand how tough it can be. We will support them every step of the way. "

Now in its fourth year and having raised over £5 million for the charity, the team are hoping to smash their records with their best year of fundraising yet.

David Ramsden, BBC Children in Need chief executive commented: “The One Show Rickshaw Challenge is very special event. At its heart is an amazing team of young people who help to unite the UK in making a real difference for young people.”

To date, the Rickshaw Challenge has raised over £5 million for BBC Children in Need, with each and every penny going to projects supporting disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.

One Show viewers will be able to follow Team Rickshaw’s progress each day, and updates will also be available online at www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey and on Twitter via #TeamRickshaw.
