You may have read recent stories in the news about Comic Relief and how we manage our money.

We can assure the public that Comic Relief takes the issue of managing money very seriously indeed and we publish full details of the approach taken on our website.

The claims in these stories are inaccurate, misleading and show a total lack of understanding of the actual position. The charity has done nothing wrong.

Comic Relief keeps its costs under close control and abides by all Charity Commission regulations.

Importantly, Comic Relief is committed to making sure that every pound the charity gets directly from the public is a pound that goes towards helping transform the lives of poor and vulnerable people.
