Comic Relief/Red Nose Day is only once every two years and it's a just generally a fun day. It's one of the only days that brings the whole nation together and I support that.
It's only twice. It's a laugh and it helps a good cause, what's the harm?
its every year
One of the fundamental principles behind working at Comic Relief is the 'Golden Pound Principle' where every single donated pound is spent on charitable projects. All operating costs, such as staff salaries, are covered by corporate sponsors or interest which is earned while money raised is waiting to be spent (granted) to charitable projects.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_ReliefRed Nose Day is the main way in which Comic Relief raises money. It is held in the spring every other year and is often treated as a semi-holiday, with, for example, schools having non-uniform days. The day culminates in a live telethon event on BBC1 starting in the evening and going through into the early hours of the morning, but other money-raising events take place. As the name suggests, the day involves the wearing of plastic/foam red noses which are available, in exchange for a donation, from many shops
As someone already said Terry Wogan get's a fairly nice pay cheque. The celebrities aren't all as virtuous as they appear to be, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were being payed.
