PUPILS and staff at Landscore Primary School in Crediton dressed up again.

This time it was for Red Nose Day and there was a Back to the 80s theme.

Judith Harris, from the school, explained: “There were some amazing costumes, with leg warmers a plenty, shell suits and even a Sony Walkman.

“There was a real party atmosphere and more than £150 was raised for Comic Relief.”

Red Nose Day took place on Friday, March 21.

From hip shakers, cake bakers and joke makers to Red Nose wearers, t-shirt buyers and sofa-sitting givers, Red Nose Day is the time of year individuals and groups come together to support people in the UK and across the world who are facing the toughest times of their lives.

A lot of exciting events and fundraising took place to celebrate Comic Relief hitting the big 4-0.

With the public’s help during the past 40 years more than £1.6 billion has been raised which is supporting more than 100 million people - and they all had a great time doing it.

Red Nose Day is an initiative of Comic Relief.

Comic Relief is a UK charity that uses the power of entertainment and popular culture to work towards a vision of a just world free from poverty.

It raises money to support organisations that are closest to the communities who can make change happen.

It supports work that will tackle the impact of poverty, injustice, conflict, and climate change in the UK and around the world.

Since launching in 1985, the fantastic sum of £1.6 billion has been raised, thanks to the huge generosity and kindness of the public and our partners.

The grand sum of £34,022,590 was raised for Red Nose Day on March 21.
