Melton Borough Schools and some tasty cakes have helped Comic Relief raise more than £71million so far.
Hundreds of schoolchildren dressed in red and took part in the charity’s 16th Red Nose Day on Friday.
Red Nose Day was a fantastic success and a lot of fun at John Ferneley College. Fundraising participation included a non-uniform day, cake sale, lip sync battle and throwing sponges at teachers in the stocks. A total of £1,213 was raised to be split between Comic Relief and Hope against Cancer PHOTO: Supplied
Teachers were involved too! Some braved being pied in the face and had sponges thrown at them to help raise aid for the anti-poverty charity.

Melton Vale Post 16 Centre encouraged everyone, staff and students, to wear red for the day. In the morning a cake sale was held and at lunchtime Year 12 took on Year 13 in a competition. This included competing against each other in a maths round, lip sync battle, an Im a Celebrity style bobbing for stars in the gunge round and a dance-off. £330 was raised for Comic Relief PHOTO: Supplied
