Monthly charity donations keep us going. They allow us to plan our work, meaning we can respond at a moment’s notice. They also allow us to stay for longer. We are there for people in a crisis – but we are also there in the months and years that follow. Monthly donations to the British Red Cross help us carry on this work long after the cameras have gone.
