Comic Relief reports that this year’s Red Nose Day campaign has lived up to its billing as “The Big One” and has now raised £63,019,955.
The charity announced its latest total to supporters and donors via email, letting them know how much more the 16 March 2007 event had raised. By the end of that night itself the total stood at £40,236,142.
The message included a reminder about the different ways of paying money into the appeal for those who had collected money but not yet passed it on.
Comic Relief expects the total to continue growing.
