COMIC Relief has raised more than £1 billion, helping to improve the lives of poor and disadvantaged people across the globe.

Here are some of the pictures of Hampshire fundraisers playing their part for the good cause.

Every pound raised goes towards helping those supported by the charity, founded in 32 years ago by comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in response to famine in Ethiopia.

All operating costs, such as staff salaries, are covered by corporate sponsors or interest earned on money waiting to be distributed.
