Red Nose Day is back on Friday 19 March 2027, and we really hope you can join us. You can now register to fundraise and join people across the nation raising money to help fund vital work tackling poverty and injustice in the UK and around the world.

Our mission combines Comic and Relief. We believe that helping others can be easy and fun, even in the face of the challenges we face every day. We believe this because we’ve seen the power of people coming together to create change over our 42-year history. When we come together to help others, we unleash the best in all of us. We fund and partner with organisations that support people in a crisis but are also building a better future for us all by focusing on prevention and the root causes.

All year round, the money donated to Comic Relief is used to fund incredible projects that are making a change to people’s lives across the UK and around the world.

You can find out more about the people and projects we work with in our What Your Money Does section of our website.

Absolutely! Head over to our Fundraise for Us page which has everything to help you with your planning, including loads of resources to download for free. Keep an eye out for more Red Nose Day resources as we get closer to the big day.

There are certain circumstances where the law requires you to have a fundraising agreement with us. Have a look at the points below and, if any of them are relevant to your fundraising activity, please email our fundraising team at fundraising@comicrelief.com for a copy of the fundraising agreement form to be filled in and returned to us.

You’ll need an agreement if:

• You’re raising money for Comic Relief in the course of a business, e.g. “my shop sells cakes for 50p, and 30p from the sale of each cake will go to Red Nose Day”.

• You’re deducting costs from the money you raise for Comic Relief, for example to cover costs of the event.

• The money you raise will be split between Comic Relief and another charity.

• You want to use a Comic Relief logo as part of your fundraising.

• You are fundraising as part of a large event. (This does not include organised events such as running races, where you’re asking for sponsorship.)

• Your fundraising includes children, young people or vulnerable adults (excluding school settings).

• There are any health and safety risks involved in your fundraising.

We no longer provide letters of authorisation, but there are certain circumstances where you are required to have a fundraising agreement with us. Please see above for more details on how to get one and whether you need one for your fundraising activity.

If none of the instances above apply, you can still request a fundraising agreement (for example, your local authority may require it).

There are, yes! For handy advice on keeping your event safe and legal, please have a read of our Fundraising Do’s and Don’ts.

We work with a wide range of organisations – big and small. To see how you might get involved with us, visit our partners section, or drop our Corporate Team an email at partnerships@comicrelief.com. They’ll be happy to discuss potential partnership opportunities with you.
