After last year’s success, when the business created the UK’s largest Red Nose from corrugated cardboard, raising £825 in the process and featuring as an example within the fundraising guide, the team is now planting what they believe to be the largest and only living Red Nose in the country.
Incorporating a selection of red plants, flowers, shrubs and grasses that will blossom and bloom throughout the year, the team are affectionately naming it ‘The Red Nose that Grows’.
Amanda Slinn, HR Manager at CorrBoard, comments: “Last year, we had so much fun with our Red Nose challenge, coming together as a team to have fun and raise money in the process. Despite our efforts being a resounding success, that meant that this year we had to come up with an idea that was even bigger and better!
“As our wild meadow is already a feature here at CorrBoard, we wanted to incorporate our creativity and love of nature into our plans. So, we rolled up our sleeves, spades at the ready and planted, what we believe to be, the UK’s only living Red Nose.
“Not only did we feel that this would be a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Comic Relief, but it also gives us the chance to fundraise throughout the year as we watch ‘The Red Nose that Grows’ blossom and bloom.
“We hope that our colleagues, customers, suppliers and partners will all come together to help us to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful charity.”
