Pixar characters are also a part of a limited edition Homesense collection, purposely designed for Red Nose Day. The products incorporate historic characters like Jessie from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story and Carl from Up that interact with the iconic Red Nose. The featured goods include aprons and accessories such as water bottles, notebooks, tote bags and tea towels. This line will be available exclusively in Homesense stores and online at www.txmaxx.com.
Matt Holyoak also captured celebrities wearing the Homesense aprons to support Red Nose Day. Famous faces include Nicola Adams, Monica Galetti, Nadine Coyle, Kimerley Walsh, Marcus Wareing, Michel Roux, The Hairy Bikers, Emma Willis, Levis Roots and Giles & Esther Coren.
The aprons are priced at £9.99, with at least £4 from each individual sale going to Comic Relief.
Disney also worked with TK Maxx and Homesense in 2019 for Red Nose Day. The products featuring Disney characters that year were one of the highest selling Comic Relief ranges to date for TK Maxx and Homesense, raising an amazing £2.1 million. In 2013, Disney directly raised over £200,000 for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day through corporate donations, employee fundraising and sales of a special edition Mickey plush and reusable shopper bags at Disney Stores in UK.
Ruth Davison, Chief Executive at Comic Relief, said: “Over the last 15 years, TK Maxx has produced outstanding t-shirt designs and homeware items which have raised millions of pounds for the vital charities we support, thanks to their generous customers. This year’s brilliant t-shirt range is no exception – it’s wonderful to see such iconic and much-loved Pixar characters feature in the official Red Nose Day 2021 range.
“The money raised will make a real difference to people’s lives in the UK and around the world. I’m proud that the t-shirts are also Fairtrade certified with cotton grown by farmers in Western Uganda, helping to create opportunities for local families and communities.”
Red Nose Day is back on Friday 19 March 2021 and will aim to bring the UK together to show just how powerful humour can be through the toughest of times. It has never felt more important to raise smiles and money for those who are struggling more than ever, as the continued impact of COVID-19 brings unprecedented challenges to many. Be it at school, work or home, people across the UK will put on Red Noses, don t-shirts and pull out all the stops to raise as much money as possible.
