Comic Relief is a major charity based in the United Kingdom, with a vision of A Just World Free from Poverty.<\/h2>\n

For over 40 years, Comic Relief has entertained and inspired people to give generously to support people living incredibly tough lives. We\u2019ve laughed, we\u2019ve cried and enjoyed many incredible moments along the way.<\/p>\n

We know that when people come together to do something to fight poverty through humour, and fun, for communities here in the UK and around the world, great things can happen.\u00a0 Together, we\u2019ve helped over 105 million people.<\/p>\n

Comic Relief supports approaches to social change that offer something different, think outside the box or offer new thinking to achieve profound impact. With our support, people change their lives. You can read their stories\u00a0here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2023 we launched a new strategy, focusing on three key areas.<\/b><\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0Alleviating poverty\u2019s consequences and grip on people\u2019s daily lives<\/b><\/h3>\n

We fund programmes that help people and communities overcome the many challenges they face.<\/p>\n

Reducing the impact of poverty on daily lives through access to resources and meaningful support focusing on those most impacted and marginalised.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Tackling injustices that keep people in poverty<\/b><\/h3>\n

We support organisations and movements that strive for fairness and equity.<\/p>\n

Strengthening community led organisations pursuing equity and justice for people experiencing poverty.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Standing with those in poverty harmed by climate change<\/b><\/h3>\n

We work in places with people who are already vulnerable and now dealing with the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n

Identifying and supporting community led solutions to mitigate against, adapt to and protect against climate change.<\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/h2>\n

A Just World Free From Poverty.<\/p>\n

We believe everyone should be able to have a decent standard of living. To live life with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/h2>\n

Our<\/b>\u00a0goal<\/b>\u00a0is<\/b>\u00a0to<\/b>\u00a0drive<\/b>\u00a0positive<\/b>\u00a0change<\/b>\u00a0through<\/b>\u00a0the<\/b>\u00a0power<\/b>\u00a0of<\/b>\u00a0entertainment.<\/b><\/p>\n

We use the power of humour and popular culture to engage people to help others and raise money to support organisations in the UK and around the world, working towards a Just World Free From Poverty.<\/p>\n

Our mission combines Comic and Relief. We believe that helping others, whilst challenging, can be fun, even in the face of grave issues around us. We believe this because we\u2019ve seen the power of people coming together to create change, through big campaigns like Red Nose Day and Sport Relief and small everyday acts, over our 40 year history.<\/p>\n

We know that a better world is possible. We believe that those closest to the issues have the best solutions, so we partner with amazing projects and organisations and provide funding to those organisations tackling poverty and injustice to make change happen.<\/p>\n
