Red Nose Day was set up to help people get the support they need across the world, including the UK.

This year, the event will focus on supporting those in need during the current living crisis, focusing on issues like lack of food and homelessness.

There are lots of great way’s to support the crucial work done by this Charity.

Personally, I love a Red Nose!

If you’re like me and will be purchasing a red nose, you’ll be interested to know that to celebrate 40 years, Comic Relief are bringing back a favourite Red Nose for each decade!

Plus, there’s a celebratory Cupcake Nose! There’s also 1 in 125 chances on getting our hands on a Rare Ruby Nose!

There are also lots of people doing amazing challenges to raise money! To name a few:

Last October, after twelve months of intensive training and relentless preparation, Billy Monger took on an Ironman endurance challenge in Kona, Hawai’i. The challenge saw him pushed to his absolute limits on a journey filled with doubt, uncertainty, risk and absolute determination.

The incredible behind-the-scenes story of Billy’s road to Kona, the iconic race itself and the motivations which kept him going, will be told in an exclusive behind the scenes documentary coming to BBC One in March 2025
