Comic Relief urges fundraisers to pay in their money

15th May 2017

The face painters, the bakers and the bean bathers - this year’s Red Nose Day was one of the most successful to date, with an amazing £78,082,988 donated on the night of TV on BBC One.

The nation got behind Comic Relief by raising money holding bake sales, dancing, painting faces and wearing fancy dress for the day.

Now Comic Relief is asking people to pay in their fundraising money as soon as they can so that it can be put to good use, helping vulnerable people living incredibly tough lives in the UK and across Africa.

The fastest and easiest way to pay in fundraising money is by using a Giving Page, or paying online(opens in new window) using a debit or credit card.

Fundraisers can also pay in person at any high street bank, using the giro slip provided in Red Nose Day Fundraising Kits (or by asking for one at the counter), at a building society where they can ask to pay into the Red Nose Day account, or using their mobile with the Barclays Pingit app. Alternatively supporters can visit the Post Office and ask to pay into Freepay Account 5550.

To post a donation, make cheques or postal orders payable to 'Red Nose Day 2015 (Fundraise)' for general fundraising, ‘Red Nose Day 2015 (Bake Off)' for bake-related fundraising, or 'Red Nose Day 2015 (Danceathon)' for Danceathon-related fundraising. Send them to: Red Nose Day 2015, Ernst & Young, PO Box 51543, London, SE1 2UG.
