These Red Nose Day ideas guides contain everything you need to get set for some serious funny business. Do something silly. Do something daft. Raise a smile, a laugh and a whole load of cash.

Whatever you and your school do this Red Nose Day, the money you raise could help put food on plates and roofs over heads, keep little ones safe and support families affected by conflict and climate change.

£100 could ensure that young homeless people have the financial support, housing and education they need for a brighter future.

Stuck for fundraising ideas? Don’t fancy dressing up? Want to super-size your fundraising with extra ideas? No problem. These Red Nose Day ideas packs will give you plenty of inspiration, and also advise you on how to raise even money.

Break the rules

• Choose one, two or more ‘rules’ to break – you can choose yourself or ask your students to vote.
