MANY things can divide a nation, maybe a football team or other opinions held.
But when it comes to helping out those in need, the British nation comes together to donate money for a good cause, just as it did on Comic Relief 2022.

How much money was raised for Comic Relief 2022?
An incredible amount of £42,790,147 was raised during Red Nose Day 2022 on March 18 for Comic Relief.
This money will go towards good causes not only in the UK but across the world.
It will also help organisations that are trying to help those who are affected by the Ukraine crisis.
On Comic Relief’s official Twitter, they said, “What a truly incredible figure.
“Thank you SO much to everyone who supported this #RedNoseDay.
“Your donations will help us to change lives in the UK and around the world.”
Last year, Red Nose Day managed to reach the figure of £55 million.

Can I still donate money to Comic Relief?
For those who are able, donating money is a crucial part of celebrating Red Nose Day.
Funds have helped more than 750,000 Brits access poverty support, while also aiding more than 8 million children worldwide.
If you haven’t done so yet, do not worry because you are still in a chance to make your donation through Comic Relief’s website.
