Red Nose Day was founded in 1985.

Red Nose Day is an event that happens every two years as Comic Relief.

The first Red Nose Day raised £15 million on Christmas Day in 1985.

The public have now fallen in love with the work of Comic Relief.

The initial name of the first Red Nose Day telethon was the National Day of Comedy, and it has since been held on the second or third Friday in March.

Comic Relief is a huge charity in the UK that aims to make the world a fairer place and diminish the devastating effects of poverty.

Even though Red Nose Day isn’t held on a yearly basis, this charity works all year round to achieve their mission and it has raised around £950 million.

Red Nose Day is almost treated as a semi-holiday in the UK.

People always get together at home, work or school to do something funny for money.

For instance, from 1999-2008 Comic Relief has made education more accessible to African children.

According to their statistics, the number of students going to school in Africa has increased by a whopping  46.5 million!

This charity has helped the most vulnerable in society such as the young, elderly and has even fought against domestic violence.

Thanks to the tireless work of the public, the number of children that attended school between 1999-2008 in sub-Saharan Africa increased by 46.5 million! Literacy in adults in Uganda also increased by a significant 73% by 2010.

Comic Relief has helped to establish the National Domestic Violence Helpline in 2013. Since then, the helpline has received over 1.5 million calls. It also refers an average of 28 women to a refuge every single day. This is a vital lifeline for people who are experiencing domestic abuse and have nowhere to turn.

Comic Relief has helped to protect over 6 million people in Africa from Malaria. Since 2000, the amount of people dying from malaria has dropped by a third. Comic Relief also distributed 600,000 mosquito nets to 234,591 households in the mid-western regions of Uganda.

There have veeb over 20 different noses for all of the 20 Comic Relief shows, including The Nose with Toes, Monster Noses, Whoopee Nose and Nose in a Bag.

Comic Relief is based on the “Golden Pound Principle”, which means every single pound sterling is spent on charitable projects. Staff salaries and operating costs are covered by corporate sponsors or interest earn on the money waiting to be distributed.

Your support can change lives across the country. You can donate as much or as little as you like, but just make a donation, as your money will improve the lives of others who are in dire need of your help.

Comic Relief supports the  Time To Change  campaign, which aims to end the discrimination of those with mental health problems. Thanks to the campaign, 1.5 million people in England stated in 2012 that their attitudes towards people with mental health problems had improved.

Kevin Cahill, Chief Executive of Comic Relief , said:

“ We’ve been bowled over by this extraordinary result. Even at a time when the British public may have been worrying about their own situation they came together to make a real difference to those whose lives are even tougher. Everyone who took part deserves a huge thank you. It is now our job to spend the money as well as we can and to report back on what we do with it.”
