Are you reddy for Comic Relief??

In less than 3 weeks Red Nose Day returns on Friday 13^th March once again stopping the nation in their tracks and encouraging them to do something funny for money. The money raised by Red Nose day is used to transform the lives of millions in the UK and Africa so why not ‘join in, have fun and change lives’. PG tips has made history by sending the PG tips monkey up to the top of the shard whilst The Comic Relief Bake Off returns to the BBC with Jonathan Ross and others competing to bake all things British. What are you doing to raise money this year?

 

The red nose day website offers loads of ideas to raise money from sporting challenges to cake sales and sponsored silences. Looking for something new in 2015?? We love the idea of organising a fancy dress sports match. Swap the standard team kit for a red shirt or swap your football socks for some bright red ones. If you want to really look the part and raise some serious cash head online and get yourself a bright red onesie. Morphsuits have brought out a range of 'M suits' which are a cheaper alternative to the original Morphsuit. The good news is that they are double stitched to ensure durability and the high quality blend of materials means that it wont reduce your vision so you will never miss that free kick!! We've found loads on Ebay for about £15 meaning you can donate your left over cash to Red Nose Day itself. Want something a little brighter? We love Sesame Street Elmo - check out the fully body suit and headpiece available at Angels Fancy Dress (fancydress.com) for just under £50. Another option is to dress as Where's Wally or Where's Wally Wenda also available on the Angels fancy dress website.

Prefer to do something at work? Arrange for your colleagues to ditch their work clothes on Friday 13^th and dress up in their finest red attire – dare someone to wear a red suit for the day and sponsor them. We've found a great Red Devil Oppo Suit that we think would definitely brighten up the office available directly from Oppo Suits for £60. And if you can’t encourage the ‘big wigs’ in the office to dress red then get them to wear a funny wig for the day. Joke Fancy Dress have got loads of red wigs on their website including some fantastic red Afro ones and we also like the Rock Star mask complete with red and black mohawk for any rockers out there. 

For even more ideas head to the Red Nose Day website and don’t forget to buy your red nose.
