Toyota has revealed it plans to raise at least £1 million for Comic Relief on Red Nose day in March with sales of red noses for cars and other events.
We’re not entirely sure what car news outlets across the globe made of Toyota UK’s announcement that the RND Concept was nothing more than a plastic red Nose for cars to raise funds for Comic Relief, but we’re sure those in the UK are happy to be teased for such a good cause.
But it’s not just Red Noses and Toyota GB pitching in to raise funds for Comic Relief, it’s Toyota Manufacturing UK, Toyota Financial Services, Toyota Materials Handling, Toyota Logistics and Toyota Centres nationwide plotting events and escapades to help Toyota make at least £1 million for Comic Relief.
If you want to pitch in and help – and you’er not averse to driving round with a plastic red nose stuck to the front of your car, you can visit your Toyota dealer or Toyota’s eBay shop to stump up £5 for your own bit of red plastic. So far, Toyota look to have sold a total of 18 red noises on eBay, so there’s a way to go.
Toyota GB’s Matt Harrison said:
We have set ourselves a target of £1 million that we are confident we can achieve with the enthusiasm, generosity and good humour of the thousands of people who work in our offices, factories, warehouses, workshops and showrooms, together with their families, friends and business colleagues.
Contributing to a better society and bringing a smile to our customers’ faces are all part of Toyota’s global vision, commitments that we believe fit perfectly with Comic Relief’s mission to give constructive help to those most in need.
It’s a good sentiment, and one we should all support by grabbing our own £5 Red Nose.
