Since 2022, young fundraiser Dante has dedicated himself to supporting Children in Need, driven by a deep understanding of what it means to be fortunate. At nearly six years old, Dante faced a frightening period when his mother became seriously ill after complications from surgery. With the support of family, he made it through—an experience that later shaped his compassion for children without the same safety net.
His determination first took shape at age 10, when he challenged himself to climb Sugarloaf Mountain every day for five days. Inspired by the success, he spent the following year completing a 12-month charity challenge that pushed his limits—from abseiling 210 feet down a cliff to baking Christmas cakes for the elderly, running a 5K, and even singing to thousands of rugby fans.
This year, Dante set his heart on a new creative challenge: writing, composing, arranging, and recording an original Christmas song titled Give a Little Christmas. With the support of producer Matt Watkins and musician Jim Ramsay, the song came to life at New Junction Music Studio.
Every penny raised will help bring hope and support to vulnerable children across the UK—a mission Dante proudly champions with love and music.
