Red Nose Day

Red Nose Day!

Red Nose Day is a Comic Relief fundraiser and is extremely popular worldwide. I particularly enjoy it and love red noses and their random flair.

WHAT IS RED NOSE DAY?

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 land can get together and do something funny for money at home, school and work. From 1988 till 1999, the red noses remained faceless, just red and shiny.

 Then in 2001, the red noses grew faces, which increased in their popularity. From then on, the red noses became more and more obscure until in 2015 they came in packets, a mystery to behold in each one. There are even rumours of golden red noses, which give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go on a trip somewhere.

There’s a fantastic night of TV on the BBC, with comedy and entertainment to inspire the nation to give generously. Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and Africa.
