Why donate to the Red Cross?
The British Red Cross is a humanitarian charity - here for people in crisis.
In the UK, our crisis response team support those affected by floods or fires and we’ll be there for those who need support after a stay in hospital.
Around the world, we get the right aid to the right place as quickly as possible. Our teams are on the ground in places like Gaza and Ukraine providing essentials like food, water, shelter and first aid. Your donation helps those in need, whoever and wherever they are.
