What is Comic Relief ?

Comic Relief is about having fun and making the world a better place

The organisation raises money and then uses it to help end poverty and unfairness

It works in the UK and also in the poorest countries in the world

Here's what it does:

Gets money in: Raises money from the public in the UK by getting them
involved in fun special events.

Shares money out: Does a lot of research to find out which charities to
support and then carefully decides how best to spend the money the public
donated.

Educates people: Explains the causes of poverty in Africa and problems
faced by groups and communities in the UK. Also lets people in the UK know
how they can change things for the better.
