Part of BT's biggest year of sport
BT has been a key partner in each Sport Relief campaign. We not only help the telethons run like clockwork, enabling Sport Relief to take donations from the public, but we're the main sponsor of the BT Celebrity Challenges, which see well-known faces go the extra mile to help disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa.
This year, we've committed to raising £1 million for Sport Relief 2012, and we really want you to take part – read on to find out more.

Comedian David Walliams gave Sport Relief 2012 a head start last September. Enduring the freezing waters of the River Thames, he completed his BT Sport Relief Challenge, Walliams vs The Thames and raised over £1.19million.
We've been involved in Sport Relief since the start, and we want you to be involved too. Here are some of the ways you can help.
David Walliams and friends will be taking over the Speaking Clock between 7th March to April 9th. Call 123 from a BT landline and see who 'precisely' is telling the time, and we'll donate 10p to Sport Relief.*
Make an individual donation using our easy-to-use MyDonate page. Whether you give one pound or one hundred, all your money will go to help make a difference to someone's life.

*If you call the speaking clock from a BT fixed line in the UK between the 7th March and the 9th April 2012 you will be helping BT to raise funds to support Comic Relief. BT will donate 10p to Comic Relief for every call made from a BT fixed line in the UK to the speaking clock during this period. Calls cost 33p from BT Residential lines. Mobile and other providers' costs may vary and not all providers use the BT speaking clock.
From the first Red Nose Day in 1988, BT has provided everything from telephone lines, to call centres, network management and volunteer staff who take calls on the night. In fact, BT has been behind every UK telethon ever held.
