This year’s Red Nose Day – called The Big One – is on Friday 16 March and Comic Relief have come up with their biggest nose ever. The foam nose starts small and expands when you roll it in your hands. Costing £1, it comes with a square of Fairtrade Chocpix white chocolate, and holding the chocolate up to the light reveals a character from either Doctor Who or Wallace and Gromit. Islanders will once again be having a laugh to raise funds for Comic Relief, which since its launch in 1985 has raised more than £425 million. Forty per cent of the money is allocated for the British Isles and 60 per cent goes towards work being carried out in Africa. The noses are available at the Checkers superstores and Checkers Xpress in Bath Street. You can also support Red Nose Day by buying the Big Smelly Nose Balls furry car air fresheners, or a pin badge. For a copy of the Red Nose Day DVD fund-raising kit, call 0906 5226666.
