The Award honours the late BBC Children in Need president and celebrates fundraisers

getters’.

Individuals can be [nominated online](https://www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/fundraisinghub/foty)

[Launched in 2016](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/10/06/sir-terry-wogan-fundraiser-year-award-created/),
the first ever award was won by 11-year-old Lauchlan Muir, who performs as a human
statue to collect money for Children in Need. Last year alone he raised more than
£3,500 for the appeal, and had collected an overall total of £10,000 for the charity.
