Whether it is going for a walk with Pudsey, holding a sponsored sandcastle building event, or taking a charity dip in the sea, it has all happened in Sunderland and County Durham over the years.
How do we know? Because we have got the archive photos to prove it and here they are.
From Hylton Red House to Richard Avenue primary schools and Redby Primary to Sunderland High School, we have it all.
So let’s re-live some great Children In Need fundraisers as we get ready for this year’s big day on November 19.
