About

About Comic Relief

Comic Relief was built on a simple belief: that laughter can bring the great British public together and help change lives. While poverty and injustice still hold too many people back, we believe humour is a super-power that turns shared moments of joyful giving into real support - helping ensure people can eat, sleep and feel safe thanks to brilliant local projects led by remarkable local people.
