THE yearly Comic Relief fundraiser is returning to our TV screens tonight – but where can you buy t-shirts and merchandise?
This year, Red Nose Day raises money to help tackle mental health stigma and takes action against domestic abuse, just to mention a few examples.

The fundraiser has raised a staggering £1.4billion over the past 35 years.
Daniel Craig, Dawn French, Catherine Tate and The Crown‘s Olivia Colman will be the stars of tonight’s Comic Relief main show at BBC One at 7pm.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there are limits to the amount of fundraising activity you can do in person.
But you can still show your support from the comfort of your home by shopping.
Merchandise is available for purchase from the official Comic Relief online shop, as well as at Sainsbury’s and TK Maxx.
Of course, if you order today, you won’t get the items ahead of tonight, but it could be worth doing to support the causes anyway.
Delivery charges at the Comic Relief website range from £1.50 to £6.50 depending on how much you spend, while TK Maxx charges from £3.
Sainsbury’s charges between 50p and £7 for delivery. There’s also a £25 minimum spend.
