Our trustees' report 2023
 

For over 150 years, we have mobilised the power of humanity so that individuals and communities can prepare for, respond to and recover from crises – both at home and around the world.
 
In 2023, our work helping people in crisis was more important than ever. From supporting people affected by the outbreak of conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory,  to delivering lifesaving aid after the catastrophic earthquakes in Türkiye, Syria, Afghanistan and Morocco, and supporting communities in the UK hit by extreme weather, we were there when people needed us.
