IT!? KUONI staff performed a series of funny
sketches with a serious message to promote
Comic Relief.
They appeared in film clips that were shown
to other employees to encourage them to help
raise money for Red Nose Day.
Employees took part in activities including
wearing, baking or making something funny to
help meet the fund-raising target of more than
£1,600.
Helen Pink, head of documentation, said:
“The aim was for everyone at Kuoni to have fun
on this special day and of course raise as much
money as possible to go towards the very
worthwhile Red Nose Day causes, both in the
UK and across Africa.’
