What is Red Nose Day?
In 1985, Comic Relief was founded by the comedy scriptwriters Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry in response to the famine in Ethiopia. The campaign’s goal was to get the nation laughing during a dark political time, and it has become an annual tradition celebrated by thousands each year. Comic Relief is very popular in education, as it’s a great way to teach children about important topics.
When is Red Nose Day 2024?
Red Nose Day takes place on Friday, 15th March 2024, and it’s a day to raise money and awareness of Comic Relief, where everyone can do something to fight poverty through something fun. And also, it’s great for the classroom. Red Nose Day offers the perfect opportunity to get your classroom involved and educate them on what Comic Relief 2024 is about and the social issues and poverty that it aims to support.

What is the theme for Red Nose Day 2024?
This year’s theme focuses on supporting those in need during the current living crisis and issues such as homelessness, mental health issues, and a lack of food.
For this year, there are new red noses too! To celebrate Red Nose Day 2024, four fun characters will be collected, including Gigglesworth, McChortles, Smirklethorpe and Lol E Pops. There is also a 1 in 166 chance to get your hands on a limited edition ‘Gold’ Nose – The Golden Hooter. This year’s noses are made with plant-based materials so they can be recycled at home. They’re also suitable for children aged 3 and above – so they’re great for your classroom students.
