Ben Fogle
Ambassador since 2019
Broadcaster and adventurer Ben Fogle became one of our first ambassadors, bringing his deep interest in emergency response to the heart of our work. His long‑standing support includes visiting earthquake preparedness and recovery projects in Nepal, giving blood for the first time and climbing Mount Everest to raise awareness of the Red Cross movement.

Ben has also travelled to Mozambique to support the response to Cyclone Idai, volunteered in our shops, and helped raise vital funds through national appeals. From festive fundraising at Baker Street station to speaking at key events and championing volunteers, Ben’s energy and compassion help shine a light on the lifesaving work of our teams around the world.
Ben opened our Guildhall Christmas Market in 2025. In 2025, the market raised over £188,000 for our work supporting people in crisis and was featured in TimeOut's top 30 London Christmas market.
Ben remains committed to standing with communities facing crisis, using his voice to elevate their resilience and the support they deserve.
