Happy Red Nose Day!
It’s here, Comic Relief 2009. In these hard times we’re having charities suffer too, so I’m all for any fundraising of any kind for worthy charities. Of course we can’t go around giving our money to every charity out there, but I do hope people do continue to support charities where they can. There are so many charities out there that we really couldn’t do without, just look at the air ambulance and lifeboats for instance, and of course all the charities that do such hard work for children, animals, hospitals etc. They’re work really must go on, charities have such an important part to play.
You may love or hate Red Nose Day. You may cringe as the TV is taken over with silly programmes which all have the poignant messages in them that make us realise just how lucky we are. I think it is great when celebs get involved in worthwhile causes. I did sit down last night and watch the programme on the Kilimanjaro climb and really enjoyed it. Good on them for taking on such a hard task, a task most of us wouldn’t even dream of doing, and the big bit they raised A LOT of money.
Also today a lot of people have been out raising money, wearing PJ’s to work, doing silly things. It’s great, it’s fun and it works. I hope Red Nose Day is well supported this year so a lot of people can benefit from it. It really is a life saving and life changing charity.
Go on give them a ring and make a donation. Even if it is a couple of quid.

£1 could pay for a hot meal for a young homeless person when they go to a drop-in centre to get vital support and assistance.
£5 could buy a mosquito net, which can save a life. OR could pay for a school uniform for a child living in extreme poverty in Kibera, Africa’s largest urban slum. Children can only attend school if they have a uniform and so the money would be used to break down a barrier to getting kids into education.
£10 could pay for a young person living with domestic violence at home to talk to a counsellor in a safe non-judgemental environment, to help them cope with their traumatic experiences.
Ending on a funny note, they have done a Comic Relief spoof of the hilarious Cadbury’s Eyebrows advert (I just love that), it’s brilliant and a must see!
