During his appearance, Prince Harry met with organisers from Children in Need, CRS, Epic Partners and Nottingham’s Police and Crime Commissioner to discuss the donation.
Tony Okotie, director of impact at BBC Children in Need, said the charity was “incredibly grateful” for the donation.
“Youth work is a lifeline for many young people,” he said.
“It makes up around 30% of the projects that we support at BBC Children in Need, so this funding will help us reach even more communities where young people are ready to be heard and supported.”
Trevor Rose, CEO at CRS, said: ”The duke’s visit and this generous donation are a powerful endorsement of the work being done at a grassroots level to positively impact young people’s futures.
“It’s a reminder that when we invest in young people, we invest in safer, stronger communities.”
Pete Bewley, CEO at Epic Partners, also thanked Prince Harry and said his support “means a great deal”.
