The British Red Cross provides unconditional care in a crisis...

British Red Cross The British Red Cross is a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. They enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their own communities. And when the crisis is over, the British Red Cross helps people recover and move on with their lives.

In the UK

The Red Cross’ work in the UK focuses on four areas:

  • Emergency response – helping individuals and communities respond to and recover from emergencies, such as floods, fires and evacuations
  • First aid training – promoting life-saving and other humanitarian skills so individuals can be ready to help their own communities
  • Health and social care – helping people during difficult periods of their life, such as an illness, breakdown in support arrangements or bereavement
  • Refugees and other vulnerable migrants – helping new arrivals to the UK and work to reunite families separated by conflicts and disasters

Around the world

The British Red Cross’ overseas work focuses on four areas:

  • Emergency response – helping communities affected by conflicts and disasters
  • Disaster preparedness – working in countries that are vulnerable to disasters, giving communities the skills and tools to survive
  • Health and social care – supporting vulnerable communities with a range of healthcare needs, including HIV, tuberculosis, community-based healthcare, and water and sanitation
  • International humanitarian law – promoting the international laws governing the way conflicts are fought, minimising the negative effects they have on civilians and combatants

The International Movement

The British Red Cross are part of a global network of volunteers – the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – responding to natural disasters, conflicts and individual emergencies. There are 186 Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies around the world, making the Movement the world's largest independent humanitarian organisation. Without the generosity of their supporters and the commitment of their volunteers, this work would not be possible. Your donation will help them provide unconditional care in a crisis.
