Whatever you're doing know that Comic Relief will continue to spend your money making a difference to those living in the UK and abroad. So whether you're hosting a bake sale, showing off your red noses, organising a raffle. Listed below are just a few of the ways Comic Relief offers support.
£10 could provide a SIM card to a young person at risk of homelessness in the UK, helping them pursue employment and help change their future
£20 could give a young woman in Zambia the chance to attend a health and relationships workshop - helping to remove the shame and secrecy these topics are often surrounded by
£50 could provide a cycling lesson for a refugee woman in the UK, allowing them to travel independently - which means they don't have to choose travel over a meal.

Look out for how your division is going to allocate theirs and get involved. It's an absolute gem and is a glittering addition to the nose gallery. There are noses available that reflect the last 40 years so you can buy an 80's, 90's Noughties and the 2010's! There is also a Cupcake Nose available too!
