David Walliams Makes a Splash for Sport Relief Submitted By: Pr-Sending-Enterprises Thursday, 8 June 2006 David Walliams Makes a Splash for Sport Relief Submitted by: pr-sending-enterprises Thursday, 8 June 2006 Little Britain star David Walliams today ended months of speculation by announcing his epic attempt to swim 21 miles across the English Channel to raise cash for Sport Relief. The Speedo Sport Relief Super Swim (http://www.sportrelief.com/superswim) will see David brave freezing waters for up to 16 hours, dodge tankers and plough through seaweed but he needs the help of the British public to do it. David is today urging everybody to help keep him afloat by going to the Sport Relief website www.sportrelief.com/superswim and pledging their support for his fundraising marathon More people have managed to climb Everest than successfully swim the English Channel and less than 10% of people who have attempted the challenge have succeeded in reaching France. The story of David’s enormous undertaking will be documented in a one-hour programme, Little Britain's Big Swim, by the makers of ONE Life on BBC ONE on July 14th. To help prepare for the mammoth endurance feat David has teamed up with an expert from the English Institute of Sport, Greg Whyte, who has overseen his training schedule for the last 11 months. ‘The English Channel is the blue ribbon event of endurance swimming and represents one of the toughest physical challenges on the planet. David has been working tirelessly over the past 11 months to make an attempt on the channel, demonstrating a level of work and commitment as great as any elite athlete I have met.'

    Comic Relief: Multi-cloud, multi-foundation, 400 real-time donations per second, zero downtime, 100% success Over the past 30 years, Comic Relief [http://www.comicrelief.com/] has raised over £1 billion for good causes around the world and in the UK. Through their two campaigns Red Nose Day [www.rednoseday.com] and Sport Relief [http://www.sportrelief.com/], they used the money donated by the great British public to make their vision a reality: a just world, free from poverty. Founded in 1985 by comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in response to famine in Ethiopia, every year Comic Relief has grown in size and influence. In its first telethon in 1998 it raised £76,610. In 2015, it raised £99,418,831. Every two years, Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day takes over primetime Friday night BBC TV for seven hours. The telethon is responsible for the majority of Comic Relief’s annual fundraising, attracting a large audience who donate money via the website or a network of 14,000 call centre operators across 120 call centres who donate their time for free. “With an increasing number of donations to Comic Relief being taken online, it is critical we have 100% confidence in our donations platform. Armakuni provides us with that confidence.” Derek Gannon, COO, Comic Relief The old donations platform The directors appreciated that the existing platform was nearing its end of life and a new platform was needed - when such a large percentage of your annual money is made in about 7 hours, you really want to know the thing is not going to fail.

  • By Kevin Kelly
    Are the tabloids helping or hindering our progress? By Kevin Kelly (i) Executive Summary The aim of this study was to highlight the impact positive/ negative of the tabloid media in this country. The findings were pretty conclusive – the overwhelming message is negative. In terms of space allocated, twice as much space is allocated to negative headlines as opposed to positive one. Please note that for the purposes of this study; I didn’t include subheadlines and associated pictures which without doubt would have made the statistics even more negative. Negative headlines aren’t just allocated more space – they have more impact in terms of design ie font size/underlining/reverse etc. Collage without Independent Independent review: (Note we wanted to show both graphics considering that the Irish Independent isn’t considered a tabloid in the true sense of the word.) In terms of the number of positive to negative headlines; here are the stats: Positive Negative Neutral Total: 348 462 115 Totals without Irish Independent: 253 396 92 Daily Sun 58 85 30 Daily Star 79 110 25 Daily Mirror 62 92 18 Daily Mail 54 109 19 Irish Independent 95 66 23 This over emphasis on negative stories in the authors opinion has a negative knock on effect on consumer confidence – if peoples mind’s are continually filled with negativity, it is hard to expect them to be filled with confidence and want to go out and spend. Ironically their spending goes hand and hand with Advertising spend. Thus one could argue that the current editorial policy is damaging both the consumer and the newspaper.
