One Direction for Red Nose Day

Not content with recording this year’s official Red Nose Day single ‘One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)’, One Direction are calling on Directioners the world over to help raise cash and do something funny for money.
Whilst the boys were visiting Ghana earlier this year to see how Red Nose Day cash changes lives, they decided they wanted to do some fundraising of their own and inspire others to do the same.
Over the next few weeks One Direction will be doing some Comic Relief fundraising classics – Niall’s doing a sponsored silence, Harry’s turning his hand to baking and Louis’s dying his hair red. They’re also going to be auctioning off their clothes from their trip to Ghana – and their outfits from next week’s BRITS performance of the single.
The band are hoping that their antics will encourage their fans, in the UK and the world over, to fundraise in their own activities to show their support for the boys this Red Nose Day. Fans can then tweet pictures of what they’re up to using the hash tag #1D4RND.
