Comic Relief is using the Piczo social networking site to encourage more young people
to get involved and donate on Red Nose day.
Comic Relief has created its own branded
space on the site and is posting news, videos, photos and blogs about its fundraising
activities. It is encouraging Piczo users, many of them teenagers, to think up fundraising
ideas and promote the campaign via the site to their own network of friends.

Comic Relief is running a competition, asking Piczo users to send in their most 
creative ideas about how to promote Red Nose Day via email. The winner will get 
a chance to experience the campaign behind Comic Relief.

Chris Seth, managing director of Piczo UK, told silicon.com: “This is the first 
time we’ve created a branded space [with a charity] and we’re working to engage 
our members in becoming ambassadors for the charity.”
