Children’s charity WellChild has been selected by the BBC to be the beneficiary 
for its Lifeline appeal this month.

The BBC1 programme will air on Sunday 17 October at 16.05 and on BB2 on Tuesday 
19 October at 13.45. It features a call for support from WellChild’s Royal Patron
Prince Harry and is lead by the charity’s business ambassador and Dragon’s Den panelist
Duncan Bannatyne, who has been a supporter of the charity for a number of years 
as well as personally funding one of WellChild’s nurse posts.

WellChild Children’s Nurses provide specialist support to enable children with complex
health conditions to leave hospital and to be cared for at home.

As part of the programme Bannatyne travels to meet some of the children who have
been helped by a WellChild nurse and see how their lives have been improved by having
their children at home with them.

The next deadline for applications to benefit from [BBC Radio 4’s and Lifeline’s appeals](http://www.bbc.co.uk/charityappeals)
