British Red Cross
We enable vulnerable people in the UK and abroad to prepare for and withstand emergencies in their own communities. And when the crisis is over, we help them to recover and move on with their lives.
Based on this experience we also speak out in order to try and prevent crises happening in the first place. We refuse to ignore people in crisis.
