KIND-HEARTED folk across Cornwall are gearing up to raise cash for Comic Relief today (March 15).

From wacky outfits and cake sales to gruelling challenges, people are doing all they can to top last year's total.

Youngsters at Kennall Vale will be making dinosaurs out of coins, while Falmouth firefighters are pushing a bale of straw to Event's Square.

St Francis School pupils have arrived for class dressed as explorers (above) while the KFC manager in Falmouth will be sitting in a bath of baked beans.

Comic Relief was launched from a refugee camp in Sudan on Christmas Day in 1985 with the aim of ending world poverty.
