Our UK and International Grants Strategy
Comic Relief helps some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in the world to turn their lives around. We do this by giving all the money the public raise to charitable projects across the UK and some of the poorest countries in the world, especially Africa.
We have selected a number of focus areas for 2009-2012 which build on our previous knowledge and experience. We are also investing in strategic work that complements these programmes (details in the full strategy).
