Claim: BBC Children in Need has given Black Lives Matter £10 million.

Conclusion: This is incorrect. Children in Need has pledged £10 million over ten years to benefit young black people in the UK. The money is not specifically going to Black Lives Matter.

I wonder if there's any historical (and not so historical) context which might support such a stance.
