The British Red Cross is a volunteer-led movement that connects those who have kindness to share, with the people who need it most.
 
We help people in crisis get the support they need anywhere in the UK and around the world.
 
The people we help can trust that we’re completely neutral, independent and impartial. Our supporters know that we help those most in need, and our staff and volunteers can see they’re a part of a unique movement which anyone is welcome to join.
