Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become something of a British institution. It’s the day, every two years, when people across the country can get together and do something funny to fundraise at home, school and work.
Comic Relief is a UK charity which aims to create a just world, free from poverty – where everyone is safe, healthy, educated and empowered. Since 1985, Comic Relief has raised over £1 billion. That money has helped, and is helping, people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world.
The Red Noses are suitable for over threes and, of course, make a dashing accessory for parents, carers and staff!
This year there are nine special Noses to find, including Sniffer the dog, Snuffles the dragon, Snootankhamun the mummy and Sneezecake the chef. Look out for the ultra-rare, limited edition Frankinose – silver instead of red, he really stands out from the crowd!
Selling just one box of Red Noses could help four children who have been orphaned by Ebola in Sierra Leone to go back to school by paying for a month’s worth of catch-up classes.
To make sure you have everything you need to make your Red Nose Day fundraising a huge success, Comic Relief has also produced a free nursery activity pack, stuffed full of fundraising tips, activity ideas, balloons, stickers and posters.
You can order boxes of 40 through Comic Relief’s exclusive deposit scheme – pay £12 now, sell the lot and then send the remaining £28 after Red Nose Day. Find out more about the scheme and order today at rednoseday.com/rednosesforschools.
