6. How to be involved
A. Comic Relief is one of the well-known charities in Britain.
The organisation raises money and then uses it to help to end poverty and unfairness. It works in the UK and in the poorest countries in the world. Here’s what it does. It raises money from the British people involving them in fun events. It does a lot of research to find out which charities to support. Then it carefully decides
how best to spend the money donated by the people. Besides, it explains the causes of poverty in Africa and problems faced by people and communities in the UK. Also it lets people in the UK know how they can change things for the better.
B. Comic Relief organises Red Nose Day every two years. 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 put on a red nose, and do something a little bit silly to raise money — celebrities included. A clown-style red nose is the symbol of Red Nose Day. Most schools in the UK are involved in Red Nose Day, too.
C. Comic Relief was set up on BBC 1 on Christmas Day 1985 from a refugee camp in Sudan to let people know about the famine in Africa. It began with a few live events, getting support from the comedy community. It was started by comedians who wanted to use comedy to let people know about poverty in the UK and in Africa. The first Red Nose Day was in 1988 with Lenny Henry, Griff Rhys Jones and Jonathan Ross, presenting the show and raising ?15 million! Over the years, more than 2050 celebrities have given their time and talent to Comic Relief.
D. Comic Relief raises money for people who need it most in Africa and the UK. Sixty per cent of Red Nose Day money is spent in Africa and forty per cent in the UK. Experts carefully decide which projects should get money. Since Comic Relief started it has raised over ?337 million. Comic Relief cash in Africa has educated people about AIDS, taught women to read, immunized children and helped to give some, especially girls, an opportunity to go to school and learn professional skills. Across the UK it has helped disabled people and supported older people.
