About Comic Relief
Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK, with a vision of a just world, free from poverty.
To drive positive change through the power of entertainment
The life cycle of a donation
You raise and donate amazing amounts of money for Red Nose Day and Sport Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives.
We add together all the money and use it to give grants to thousands of charities who are working to help people living tough lives, both here in the UK and around the world.
It takes two years for all the money to be allocated. This gives charities ample time to apply for grants and gives us plenty of time to make sure we’re only funding the very best ones.
What we do
The money you give is put towards incredible projects, in the UK and across the world, that are effectively tackling inequality and making lasting change.
Our partners
We work with a range of incredible organisations, without whom Sport Relief and Red Nose Day simply couldn't happen.
