Comic<\/b> Relief<\/b> is<\/b> a<\/b> major<\/b> charity<\/b> based<\/b> in<\/b> the<\/b> United<\/b> Kingdom,<\/b> with<\/b> a<\/b> vision<\/b> of<\/b> A<\/b> Just<\/b> World<\/b> Free<\/b> from<\/b> Poverty.<\/b><\/h3>\n

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

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

Comic Relief supports change that is driven locally, for both the causes and consequences of poverty. With our support, people change their lives. You can read their stories here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2023 we launched a new strategy, focusing on three key areas.<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Alleviating poverty’s consequences and grip on people\u2019s daily lives <\/strong><\/p>\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. Tackling injustices that keep people in poverty<\/strong><\/p>\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. Standing with those in poverty harmed by climate change<\/strong><\/p>\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<\/h3>\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<\/h3>\n

We use entertainment and storytelling to inspire generosity towards locally-led change for people experiencing poverty.<\/b><\/p>\n

Our mission combines Comic and Relief. We believe that helping others can be fun, even in the face of grave issues around us. We believe this because we’ve 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.<\/p>\n

Our Values<\/h3>\n

Have<\/b> a<\/b> sense<\/b> of<\/b> humour,<\/b> always<\/b><\/p>\n

Even if we’re facing adversity or fighting for change, we can raise a smile<\/p>\n

Inspire<\/b> a<\/b> culture<\/b> of<\/b> generosity<\/b><\/p>\n

Through unique relationships with schools, the public and fundraising<\/p>\n

Break<\/b> down<\/b> barriers<\/b><\/p>\n

By being brave, acting in solidarity, and standing up for what is right<\/p>\n

Make<\/b> meaningful<\/b> change<\/b><\/p>\n

Putting people with experience of the issues we care about at the heart of decision making<\/p>\n

Walk<\/b> the<\/b> walk<\/b><\/p>\n

Giving respect and positivity to the work of Comic Relief internally and externally<\/p>\n

Share<\/b> the<\/b> stage<\/b><\/p>\n

Enabling people to tell their own stories on our platform. And listening<\/p>\n

Make<\/b> it<\/b> personal<\/b><\/p>\n

We celebrate the diversity of experience as our greatest resource and strength<\/p>\n
