Red Nose Day!

Red Nose Day

So, today's blog is going to be something a bit different but it is for a good cause so I hope you guys don't mind! Tomorrow is the official Red Nose Day so I thought I would try raise a bit of awareness (even though I imagine everyone in the UK has heard of this day and has probably been involved in some sort of fundraiser for it at some point in their life's).

Red Nose Day raises money for people in Africa as well as here within the UK. The money which is sent to Africa is used to help treat and prevent malaria, help those who are affected by HIV and Aids (whether it's someone who has it or a child that has lost both parents to the disease) and helps educate them so they can help themselves have a better life.

The UK money is also used just as effectively. It helps young carers, older people, people who have suffered domestic/sexual abuse and many others. 

It is such a worthy cause and if there's one thing you should do today it is make a donation to the cause. Everyone can spare a couple of pounds and those pounds could literally save a life. It's easy to donate and can be done in many ways such as;
  • Buy the official comic relief song by One Direction called- One Way Or Another
  • Buy some of their merchandise such as a red nose (as seen in pictures I got mine!)
  • Make a donation through their website- https://www.rednoseday.com/donate
  • Or by just support a fundraising event which is happening near you.

Ever little helps so PLEASE PLEASE give whatever you can and know that someone's life has changed for the better thanks to you :)

Don't forget to watch the main programme tomorrow night on BBC1 at 7pm. This gives a much better insight into ways the money helps and also shows amusing ways in which celebrities have gone out of their way to raise money. 

Thanks for reading and if you donated then thank you VERY much!!

Comic Relief Nose
My mother's school was selling the noses. A couple of p1's/p2's came round to sell them. She asked them to choose one for her daughter who's a bit grumpy (not true!) and they chose this one as it had the biggest smile!
