General Fund Appeal

The British Red Cross cares for people in crisis, both in the UK and overseas. For thousands of vulnerable people each year, it is the certain sign of hope in crisis, meeting both immediate and longer term needs.

Our experience of working with people in emergency situations around the world means we can allocate our resources in the most effective ways possible.
The British Red Cross will use your donation wherever the need is greatest, both Internationally and in the UK.
Or you can make a donation to one of our appeals, see our list of current appeals above.

Here are some examples of how your donation could help:

Questions about your donation?
Alternatively, give the gift of Hope by sending a Red Cross parcel to support someone, somewhere when they need it most.  Visit the Parcel of Hope site.

Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to charity. It is a scheme introduced by the Inland Revenue, which allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you pay as a UK taxpayer.  That's an extra 28p for every £1 you give. This is at absolutely no extra cost to you, so do remember to tick the gift aid box when making your donation.

Why we ask for money, not gifts.
