Philanthropy at Comic Relief
Since our inception in 1985 we have raised over £1.3billion. We thank you and warmly invite you to carry on supporting us in our mission to create a Just World Free from Poverty. Your gift will make a huge impact on the lives of many people including those living with mental health conditions or vulnerable young people, those with no place to call home or women and girls who experience gender injustice.
We are grateful for your support, whether you decide to donate a philanthropic gift, fundraise through your professional or personal network, or lend us your time and expertise. We would be delighted to work with you, aligning our values and areas of interest to yours, to achieve the highest possible impact and create a positive change together.
"We offer you a partnership with transparency, trust and continuous communication, where your voice is being heard, and questions answered. Let’s tackle the big issues together."
