Operation Hope

Put your mic where your mouth is. Join the team, fundraise for Operation Hope and help people in all disaster and conflict zones get support faster. 

Nobody can predict where or when the next disaster will strike. But one thing is certain. Whether there’s an earthquake in Nepal, floods in Somerset or conflict in Yemen, the Red Cross must be ready to act as soon as we’re needed. 

Operation Hope is raising money for the British Red Cross Emergencies Fund, a way to help people in disaster and conflict zones, while supporting our vital work in the UK and overseas. 

Together, we can make sure Red Cross teams reach people sooner, save more lives – and are ready when the next crisis strikes. 

How does it work? 

1. You sign up, stream and fundraise with your community. 
2. Your amazing fundraising will support the Emergencies Fund which is ready and waiting for when a disaster strikes anywhere in the world. 
3. You’ll receive an update from British Red Cross when the fund is being used, that way you can find out how your donations are saving more lives, faster!
