Came across this on DFID website last week. Thought it was a really interesting idea, and a great way to get the general public interested in development issues.

What do you think?

Thanks

Yes, when I was at DFID, we funded Red Nose Day (not sure if they still do) and did a lot of joint press work with them and things like school visits. They also carried coverage of a Minister's visit to one of their projects at prime time during the programme - reaching a huge audience.
