Red Nose Day - Total Raised £674!

The final count is in, and RPM raised an amazing total of £674.20 for Red Nose Day. Thank you so much for your generosity. Considering our target was £250, this is a phenomenal total! To put this money into perspective, here are a few stats from Comic Relief so that you can understand what this money can do to help those in the UK and abroad. £8 could pay for ten Ugandan children to be tested for malaria so they can get a quick diagnosis and receive life-saving treatment. £10 could pay for an hour of valuable job training that will help someone with mental health problems to find work. £20 could pay for an hour of specialist counselling for a young person who has been sexually exploited in the UK. £25 could provide regular access to clean water for a family living in the slums of Kenya. £90 could provide a group of 30 primary school children in war-affected Uganda with enough exercise books to last a whole year. £240 could give six young carers a much needed break from their caring responsibilities at home with an activity day where they can unwind and socialise with other young carers. Thank you to everyone who donated and took part in the various activities organised for Red Nose Day.
