Our vision is a just world free from poverty.
Our mission is to drive positive change through the power of entertainment.
We do this by:
Raising money from the general public by actively involving them in events and projects that are innovative and fun.
Informing, educating, raising awareness and promoting social change.
Allocating the funds we raise in a responsible and effective way to a wide range of charities which we select after careful research.

Top comedy teams who've given us a belly-load of laughs while helping us raise lots of cash include the League of Gentlemen, The Fast Show and Smack the Pony.
And onto Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day is a UK-wide fundraising event organised by Comic Relief every 2 years which culminates in a night of extraordinary comedy and moving documentary films. It's the biggest TV fundraising event in the UK calendar. On Red Nose Day everyone in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is encouraged to cast inhibitions aside, put on a Red Nose, and do something a bit silly to raise money - celebrities included. It is an event that unites the entire nation in trying to make a difference to the lives of thousands of individuals facing terrible injustice or living in abject poverty.
