The wonderful Red Nose Day is back and that means more Sunderland scenes like these.
It’s time to get back into that bath of custard, get your hair shaved off, or eat chillies for charity just like you did in years gone by.
Comic Relief 2023 is a fun-filled day with a great cause – to tackle poverty, discrimination and violence.
