Significant gifts make a significant difference

The British Red Cross relies on the generosity of all our supporters to continue and assist us with a variety of projects and uphold our readiness to help people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are.

We have a committed team who work closely with individuals and families who are able to donate gifts of £5,000 or more, and can advise on the many tax-effective ways of giving, including gift aid and giving shares.

We also work with generous and caring individuals who are able to invest time and expertise to support the organisation or who can organise events to raise money for the British Red Cross.
