Island schools doing something 'funny for money' to mark Red Nose Day

Today marks Red Nose Day with Schools across the Isle of Man doing something wacky in the name of raising money for a good cause.

Today marks Red Nose Day with Schools across the Isle of Man doing something wacky in the name of raising money for a good cause.

Almost all of the Island’s schools are in some way involved this year, with everything from stand up comedy to red themed school dinners planned.

Comedy is very much a central theme this year with the charity urging people to do something ‘funny for money’.

Comic Relief falls every two years and endeavours to raise millions of pounds, which is distributed to some of the neediest causes in both the UK and across Africa.

We spoke to a number of teachers and pupils across the Island and found out that talent shows, stand up comedy and an entirely red school dinner are among the fund raising initiatives on the cards.
