Here at WDM we’re doing our bit to support Comic Relief and we ask you to join us in helping fundraise for their good causes because your donations can really make a difference
With some great projects in the UK and Africa, offering effective ways to tackle poverty and injustice, Comic Relief can choose the best and then fund them.
This Red Nose Day, they are focusing on five issues where your support can help make a huge difference.
Immunisation
Stopping a problem before It starts is always the most effective way to deal with it. That’s what vaccines do, yet, one in five children, worldwide, isn’t vaccinated against common childhood diseases
To help ensure thousands of children are protected donate to Comic Relief
Mental health
A staggering one in four of us will experience a mental health problem this year, but, because it has a stigma surrounding it, many people don’t seek help.
Attitudes are changing. Comic Relief is working hard to raise awareness about mental health and where to get help.

Vulnerable young people
Children suffer the most from living in extreme poverty, whether they’re living alone on the streets or with a parent who earns just enough to pay for food and little else. Poverty robs children of opportunities to break the cycle.
The greatest opportunity Comic Relief can give them is education. Your donation helps provide it
Domestic violence
Can you believe that up to 60% of women who experience domestic violence are pregnant at the time? And the police receive, on average, over 100 calls relating to domestic violence every hour.
In 2003, Comic Relief helped set up the National Domestic Violence Helpline and continues to fund it to this day.

Fighting malaria
Since 2000, child malaria death rates in Africa have dropped by 71%. In short, we’re winning.
But it still kills over 250,000 children under five each year in Africa, so help Comic Relief provide the tools to fight this deadly disease.
