Mabel, a 13-year-old from Oxfordshire, is performing in the BBC Children in Need Choir on tonight's appeal show. She is one of 16 children and young people in a live medley, each supported by a BBC Children in Need-funded project. The show airs from Salford at 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, hosted by Alex Jones, Mel Giedroyc, Rylan, Sara Cox and Tyler West.

Mabel has attended Oxford's Yellow Submarine for nearly two years. The scheme supports young people with learning disabilities through youth club sessions, holiday activities and residentials. Through the project, she has made lasting friendships and grown in confidence. Mabel said the performance was 'such an exciting opportunity' and that she loved 'singing and performing'.

The choir performs a medley including 'Stargazing' by Myles Smith and 'You've Got the Love' by The Source featuring Candi Staton, accompanied by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by David Arnold. Vocal coach Mark De-Lisser directs the choir. BBC Children in Need currently funds 13 projects in Oxfordshire, totalling more than £894,000.
