About Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day is a day like no other when the whole country gets together to do something funny for money and change countless lives in the process.
It all culminates in a night of cracking TV on the BBC with some of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment.
And the best bit? All the fun and mayhem helps to raise cash and transform lives across the UK and Africa.
Red Nose Day 2011 has been an incredible success – and it’s still not too late to be a part of it!

What did you do this Red Nose Day?
Wear a Red Nose at work? Go to school in a silly wig? Sell cakes on the streets of Newcastle whilst dressed up as an inflatable lobster?
Whatever you did, we want to know all about it so upload your Red Nose Day photos and share them with the world.
And thank you for pulling out all the stops to raise cash. We really couldn’t be more grateful.
