Children in Need Chair Resigns Over Concerns About Transgender Youth Charity

Rosie Millard stepped down, citing lack of board support after pushing to end funding for LGBT Youth Scotland over alleged risks to children.

Rosie Millard resigned as chair of BBC Children in Need, stating her position became untenable after questioning grants to LGBT Youth Scotland.
Millard raised concerns about the charity’s promotion of puberty blockers and chest binders for children, which she argued could harm young people.
The charity faced scrutiny over past links to individuals convicted of crimes against children, though it condemned any actions harming youth.
Children in Need suspended and later withdrew funding to LGBT Youth Scotland following a three-month investigation into complaints.
The Scottish Charity Regulator is reviewing concerns about LGBT Youth Scotland, while Millard criticized the pressure to prioritize inclusivity over accountability.
