Red Nose Day is back on Friday 15 March and thousands of primary schools across the UK have already begun the countdown to the most epic fundraising day on the school calendar.

After raising more than £5 million for Red Nose Day 2017, pupils and teachers alike are gearing up to once again don a nose, bake, splat, sing, dress up and more, all to raise cash and change lives in the UK and worldwide.

Curating these memorable Red Nose Day moments has been made easier than ever by Comic Relief with their helpful and inspiring free fundraising packs, designed especially for primary schools.

Each pack includes a fundraising guide, posters, stickers and balloons. Schools are also introduced to 12-year-old aspiring artist Farhad, who fled Iran with his family and embarked on a dangerous year-long journey to a Serbian refugee camp where Comic Relief provides funding.

Order your free pack at comicrelief.com/primarypack before Friday 8 March to have these tips, tools and classroom ideas land in your school’s post box in time for the big day.

If your school is after even more resources, you’ll find delicious recipes, creative mask cut-outs, exciting games, helpful guides, stimulating films, educational topic maps and more on this website, click HERE.

And the finishing touch? Red Noses, of course. Make sure your school looks the part by ordering boxes of 40 Red Noses through our exclusive schools’ deposit scheme. Pay £15 per box now, sell the lot and then send Comic Relief the remaining £35 per box after Red Nose Day.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to get the whole school community having fun, learning and changing lives.
