Comic Relief - Not Our Problem
Project Details
Comic Relief uses the power of comedy to fight childhood poverty. That's not a tagline. It's a precise description of what we do. Comedy does things that nothing else quite can. It lowers defenses and opens minds. It brings people together and builds real connection. That's not a trick. That's how we humans work. We use this power to change the stories that keep childhood poverty invisible and misunderstood, to move people and communities to support kids facing it, and to get resources to local nonprofits doing the work.
