Comic Relief– Face the Funny on BBC One on Friday night has raised a record breaking £78,082,988 so far – taking the total amount raised by Comic Relief to £1,047,083,706.
This landmark total, achieved thanks to the incredible generosity of the British public and enduring support of the BBC, is made up of money raised through every Red Nose Day and Sport Relief ever, since Comic Relief began 30 years ago. The money raised since 1985 has helped over 50 million people in the UK and across the world’s poorest communities.
Lenny Henry, Presenter on the night and Comic Relief Trustee, said: “What a brilliant welcome we have had at the London Palladium. It’s an extraordinary change and the energy from everyone here has been fantastic. The response to the films has been amazing.”
