Nottingham turns Red
Buildings in Nottingham have turned red along with Sherwood Forests' Major Oak and all for Comic Relief!
A group of employees at a Sainsbury’s in Wigston, Leicester have decided to bear all for Red Nose Day and pose naked for a calendar to raise money for Comic Relief!
Tracey Cadenhead who appears in the calendar herself said, ‘We thought we’d do a calendar with a Comic Relief twist, so we’re wearing nothing but a Red Nose and a smile.’ The calendar will be on sale in the store and nearby branches, and hundreds of pounds have already been raised by the ladies to do the calendar.
Get Involved
Donald Ward Recycling of Ilkeston, Derbyshire are offering to donate £10 to Comic Relief for every skip they deliver on Friday 16 March, plus the drivers will be fundraising at all of the sites they visit during that week.
Nottingham-based company Experian have put a really BIG Red Nose on the front of their Landmark House to show their support for Red Nose Day 2007. A team of abseilers scaled the glass fronted building, wearing their own foam noses, to secure the big building nose.
The Fun House Comedy Club is gearing up for a Gong Show comedy night for Red Nose Day at its clubs in Nottingham and Derby. A host of up-and-coming comedians from all over the country will have to beat the gong to get the audience to giggle at their gags! The club is kindly donating all the money from tickets for the shows to Comic Relief
Big Difference
From the money raised from 10 Red Nose Days, Comic Relief has spent over £3.3 Million on almost 200 projects in the East Midlands.
Since Red Nose Day 2005, Comic Relief has spent £400,000 Million on 13 projects working in the East Midlands.
Base 51 in Nottingham offers a one stop shop for young people aged 12-25 providing access to a wide range of services including counselling, hygiene facilities, hot meals, basic skills training, advice on housing and the chance to phone home. The grant from Comic Relief contributes to the organisation’s core costs and helps offset the cost of the manager and the cook supervisor.
