Coughing up for Comic Relief!
 
 
S
ela did its bit raising money for Comic Relief by helping people with real red noses on Red Nose Day. The firm, which has been making its famous Sela-Cough® lozenges for over 75 years, set up a stall in the busy Pallasades shopping centre in the centre of Birmingham on Red Nose Day (Friday 16 March 2001) to sell packets of Sela-Cough® to passers by at £1 per packet, with all proceeds being donated to Comic Relief.

The Sela-Cough® packaging features two coughing city gents in bowler hats as its main logo, taken from an original 1930s advertising poster for the product, and the Sela-Cough® Comic Relief sellers were therefore dressed to match, complete with red noses of course!

The good people of Birmingham coughed up over £500 in the end, which was a fantastic result and good news for Comic Relief!

Comic Relief is a registered charity No. 326568
