British Red Cross 2501 views

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 and their communities prepare for, deal with, and recover from crises. Whether that’s supporting someone following a hospital stay or an emergency, training people on how to save a life, helping refugees and asylum seekers who have been forced to leave their homes, or working with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners across the world, we rely on the kind acts of our volunteers and supporters to ensure that everyone gets the help they need in a crisis.Whenever a humanitarian crisis occurs in the UK or overseas, the Red Cross is always one of the first organisations on the scene thanks to our local volunteers.We are guided by the seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: *Humanity *Impartiality *Neutrality *Independence *Voluntary service *Unity *UniversalityThe fundamental principles mean that people we help can trust that we’re completely neutral, independent and impartial. Our supporters know that we help those most in need both in the UK and internationally, and our staff and volunteers can see they’re a part of a unique movement which anyone is welcome to join.We welcome you to join our movement and share your voice in our community.
