Raise a glass to Comic Relief

Unless you’ve been in solitary confinement for the past few weeks, you won’t have missed the fact that it’s Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day this Friday 13 March.

There’s loads of ways we can support Comic Relief which funds extremely worthwhile projects at home and abroad.

Our favourites are the Red Nose Day wine and the limited edition Stella McCartney Fairtrade organic tshirts, as modelled by the likes of Keira Knightley, Claudia Schiffer, and the rather less glamorous David Walliams (sorry David).

The wine has a RRP of £4.99 with a £1 donation to Comic Relief and will be sold in most major wine retailers. The red wine is a Pinotage Shiraz and the white wine a Chenin Blanc. The label includes artwork kindly donated by critically acclaimed artist Damien Hirst. And we especially like the fact that it comes in a bottle that is ‘particularly recyclable’.

The cool tshirts feature Morecombe and Wise or the Beatles and are available from TKMaxx from £9.99 with at least a fiver going to Comic Relief. Also available in kids sizes.

Alternatively, if you’re wardrobe’s already bulging with tshirts and you are sensibly teetotal, a few pennies of your hardearned wouldn’t go amiss. There’s info on how to donate here.
