Its former chief James Rennie was convicted in 2009 of child sex assaults. Grants from Children In Need began seven months later, when the charity had new management in place. The chair of the BBC's Children in Need charity Rosie Millard resigned, after reports that she protested over grants awarded to LGBT Youth Scotland [2].
