The current Red Nose Day 2017 total stands at a jaw-dropping £73,026,234 and Comic Relief couldn’t have done it without the great British public coming together and showing, once again, their incredible generosity over the past few weeks.
This Red Nose Day – on March 24 – saw some impressive, brand spanking new and sometimes downright daft endeavours all to raise a smile, raise the laughs and raise life-changing cash.
Comic Relief Co-Founder, Sir Lenny Henry, said: “Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that has helped to raise an incredible amount of money this Red Nose Day for people who really need it most here in the UK and across the world”
The remarkable audience totals for the Red Nose Day night of TV on BBC One and BBC Two, peaking at 7.6million viewers.
On a more serious note, the money raised this Red Nose Day, will enable Comic Relief to fund inspirational work helping people living incredibly tough lives both here in the UK and across some of the world’s poorest communities. This will build on the progress that Comic Relief has helped to make happen thanks to the public’s enduring support.
