Comic Relief is a British charity organisation that was founded in the UK in 1985.
Red Nose Day is the main way in which Comic Relief raises money. It is held in the spring every other year, and is often treated as a semi-holiday, with, for example, schools having non-uniform days. The day culminates in a live TV event on BBC starting in the evening and going through into the early hours of the morning, but other money-raising events take place. As the name suggests, the day involves the wearing of plastic/foam red noses which are available, in exchange for a donation, from Sainsbury's and Oxfam shops.
The 2009 event took place on Friday, 13 March 2009. This year, more than 57 million pounds were raised.
