The charity will match the sum pledged by Stormzy over 10 years to support young black entrepreneurs making a difference in their communities, help fund youth leadership programmes and access to education for young black people.

Children in Need will also partner with Radio 1 Xtra to develop a programme to support and fund a range of activities that will enhance young black lives and enhance black talent. 

The programme will be developed in partnership with young people who will be involved in the design and delivery process, from naming the new programme to reviewing grant applications and advising on the allocation of funding, Children in Need said.
