Schools across Scotland gear up
for Red Nose Day
Comic Relief is always blown away by the fantastic fundraising efforts of our Scottish school
supporters! Next Red Nose Day, which will take place on Friday 24th March 2017, looks set
to be no exception.
This year’s Free Primary School Fundraising Pack is packed with original ideas for fundraising,
as well as balloons, stickers and posters. Order yours today at rednoseday.com/schools
The money raised by schools will be used to help fund incredible projects that tackle poverty
and injustice across Africa and the UK. So start thinking now about what your school can do
for Red Nose Day 2017!
Looking for inspiration?
Megan, Gemma, Grace, Jenny and Jenna from
Bellyeoman Primary School in Dunfermline
organised a fantastic bake sale for Red Nose
Day 2015. Overall, the school raised a brilliant
£934.21 by selling cakes, Red Noses and asking for
donations to wear jammies for the day.
Red Nose Day 2015 was one of the highlights of
the school year at Muir Street Primary School in
Motherwell. Teachers and children organised a
coffee afternoon and a funny face photo booth, as
well as a fun day that included red costumes and
noses, playing splat the teacher, games, arts and
