THIS Friday is Red Nose Day and isleofman.com wants to hear from fundraisers who will be hosting events in aid of Comic Relief.

The charity spends the money raised by the public to give extremely vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa a helping hand to turn their lives around.

To date, 12 Red Nose Days have raised more than £500m.

Companies and individuals in the Island should send details of public events to events@isleofman.com for listing on our events calendar and those doing something extra special should email our news team on newsroom@isleofman.com

We would welcome any pictures of events too and will publish a selection of them on the site.

The Red Nose Day programme will be broadcast on Friday from 7pm to 1.30am on BBC1.

The night will be presented by Fearne Cotton, Lenny Henry, Davina McCall, Michael McIntyre, Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross, Dermot O'Leary and Claudia Winkleman.
