Red Nose Day is an annual event where people come together to raise as much money as possible to help end child poverty in the UK and around the world. The aim is to keep children safe, healthy and educated using the funds raised for the charity Comic Relief.
The day involves fundraising events across the UK as well as TV specials. In 2021 an incredible £52,025,485 was raised and everyone will be hoping to beat that total this year.
So, when is Red Nose Day 2022? The Daily Record has the answer to that question and much more.
