Do Something Funny For Money
It's never been easier to get involved in Red Nose Day. You just need to Do Something Funny for Money. For more information check out the Comic Relief website at www.rednoseday.com (and via the links on this page).
Tell us how your raising money, it'll be a confidence booster for everyone. Whether you're planning to wear something funny to work or school or just thinking about waxing your leg share your ideas and make us all laugh.
I am personally raising money online using a search engine that gives out money (in pounds) when you search with it. Registration is free and you get money for something you do regularly, search! All for free! Click on this link to register: http://www.myhpf.co.uk/banner.asp?Friend=363653 So far I've raised quite a bit and my proceeds are going to Red Nose Day. Why don't you give it a go and tell others about it as well as you could be raising money for charity with hardly any work at all!!
There are tons of great ideas and top tools to help you raise as much money as possible. There's also a fantastic Fundraising kit for all the support you need in your hands!

Wear Something Funny For Money - everyone loves a bit of fancy dress! Dress up, dress down or wear your pyjamas all day - whatever you do, get everyone to pay to take part (and pay more not to!). And whatever you do, make sure you wear your Red Nose.
