Helping people in crisis – the British Red Cross
The British Red Cross is one of the most trusted humanitarian charities in the UK. We provide life-saving support and protect human dignity during conflicts, disasters and other emergencies.
We’re an independent UK charity that works alongside the government to deliver humanitarian services where they’re needed most. Every day we support people in need through health and care services, refugee support, and crisis response. To support resilience and help people prepare for emergencies, we offer advice and first aid training.
We are also proud to be part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, working with our partners to respond to humanitarian crises worldwide.
Whether you're looking to get help, donate, or volunteer, the British Red Cross is here for you.
