Red Nose Day 2024

Red Nose Day will be returning on Friday the 15th of March. This year, the event will focus on supporting those in need during the current living crisis, focusing on issues like lack of food and homelessness.

Red Nose Day is a celebration of hope and a way to help create a kinder future for children throughout the world. Here are some facts to highlight why Red Nose Day is so important: Almost 20% of children in America, the world richest country, are part of families living below the poverty threshold.

Comic Relief is a major UK charity that raises money for people living in poverty. The concept is to fundraise by making the public laugh. It was set up by scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in 1985, in response to the famine in Ethiopia.

The purpose of Red Nose Day is to raise money to support and empower people living in poverty around the world, including the UK.

The money raised goes towards life-changing projects, such as funding community learning centres, support groups and local clubs for children and young people.
