Whether it is sitting in a bath of beans, having your face painted, enduring a leg or chest wax or taking part in an auction, it has all happened in South Tyneside over the years.
How do we know? Because we have got the archive photos to prove it and here they are.
From Westoe Crown Primary School to the Ben Lomond pub and Asda to Jarrow School, we have it all.
So let’s re-live some great Children In Need fundraisers as we get ready for this year’s big day on November 19.
