Company

Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK which strives to create a just world, free from poverty. We’ll do just about anything to see that vision become a reality and our mission is to drive positive change through the power of entertainment.

Since we first set up shop in 1985, we’ve been doing three main things...

  • We raise millions of pounds through two big fundraising campaigns – Red Nose Day and Sport Relief.
  • We spend that money in the best possible way to tackle the root causes of poverty and social injustice.
  • We use the power of our brand to raise awareness of the issues that we care most about.

Over the years we’ve inspired a lot of people who don’t normally ‘do’ charity to, well, do charity. The support we’ve had from so many friends has always blown us away – and still does today.
