Annual report and accounts 2024
For over 150 years, we have mobilised the power of humanity so that individuals and communities can prepare for, respond to and recover from crises – both at home and around the world.
In 2024, our work helping people in crisis was as important as ever. We supported people affected by the ongoing conflict in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. We continued to deliver aid in Syria, Sudan and Ukraine. We also provide support to communities in the UK hit by extreme weather - we were there when people needed us.
