Come together for Red Nose Day 2019
Thanks to generous customers and BA colleagues, 2018 saw the airline raise £6.15 a minute for Flying Start – British Airways' charity partnership with Comic Relief. These donations have gone on to support more than 620,000 young people in the UK and in some of the world’s poorest communities. On this year’s Red Nose Day (15 March), British Airways colleagues will go the extra mile, embarking on sky-high challenges to continue the fundraising efforts, while customers can continue to support the charity by donating on board.
