During last night’s Red Nose Day I was in one of the many donation call centres set up by companies to aid the Red Nose Day charity. This one was organised by work and, seeing I probably wouldn’t have done anything else, I decided I might as well do something worthwhile with my time.
Some tweets:
- About to take my first donation call for #RND. #
- First #RND donation pledge taken. Here goes to another 4.5 hours! #
- And the #knitting‘s come out! #RND

- I just took £500 in a single donation pledge! #RND #
The call centre I was in had just over £215k in donation pledges and so far Red Nose Day has managed to raise over £70 million which is an insane number.
It was a good though intense evening and I would definitely do it again.

Well done!
70 million?!?!? That’s AMAZING! Well done for helping out, that was an evening brilliantly spent.
I can’t believe how much was collected! And to think the callcentre of over 100 people I was part of took 215k is scary to think just how many others were involved!
