Welsh rugby player takes one for the team
for Red Nose Day
Welsh national team get behind Red Nose Day 2015
Members of the Welsh rugby team have taken time out of their Six Nations training to show their
support for Red Nose Day 2015.
Jake Ball, Samson Lee and Taulupe Faletau pulled their funniest faces to show how easy it is to take
part in this year’s campaign and raise some all-important cash.
In a video urging the Welsh public to make their faces funny for money, team mates took advantage
and high tackled Wales lock, Jake with a shower of this year’s Red Noses – available from Sainsbury’s,
Oxfam and rednoseday.com for just £1.
For Red Nose Day 2015, people all over Wales will be making their faces funny for money to help
people living unimaginably tough lives here in Wales, across the UK and Africa. Fundraising kits,
giving pages and all the latest Red Nose Day stories are available from rednoseday.com. To really
look the part, fundraisers can pick up the official Red Nose Day t-shirt from TK Maxx.

Notes to editors
 Red Nose Day 2015 is heading your way on Friday 13th March when the great British public will be
asked to ‘Make Your Face Funny for Money’

As an official partner of Red Nose Day, Barclays are kindly providing the donation payment
technology for the Statues via contactless and the Barclays Pingit app. It’s made making a
difference as easy as snapping a selfie, and with Barclays Pingit, you can add an extra 25% on top of
your donation with Gift Aid to help Comic Relief run itself, and it doesn’t cost you a penny

The statues were designed by creative agency Fallon, and built by 3DEye

Fallon’s involvement with the project began when the creative agency was awarded a grant from
the Innovation in Giving Fund, managed by Nesta and funded by the Cabinet Office
www.nesta.org.uk/project/innovation-giving-fund

Comic Relief then became the first confirmed charity partner for the project

By raising cash this Red Nose Day, you’re helping to change lives forever. That’s because Comic
Relief spends the money raised to help change the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged
people across the UK and Africa

Red Nose Day comes along every two years and combines two very British things: having a laugh
and helping others. Be it at school, work or home, people across the land put on Red Noses and pull
out all the stops to raise as much money as possible. Then, once everyone’s run out of fundraising
juice, they tune into BBC One for some top entertainment from their favourite comedians and to
donate even more cash! And why do they do it? To help poor and vulnerable people living
incredibly tough lives both here in the UK and across Africa
