Help people in crisis and donate now: No matter how hard it gets, we’ll never give up.
Whether it’s in the UK or abroad in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine, it feels like the British Red Cross has never been needed more.
Through conflict, flooding or food shortages and fires, families and communities are facing unimaginable hardship. It would be easy to give in to despair. But we will never give up.
No matter how difficult or dangerous things get, the British Red Cross is ready to face these challenges, bringing comfort and aid when all hope and humanity feels lost.
But we depend on support for what we do – so please donate right now, if you can.
Why your donation to the British Red Cross matters
We are working tirelessly in the UK and abroad to provide vital support like shelter, food, water and medicine to people in desperate need.
But we can’t do it alone. These emergencies are becoming more severe by the hour. We urgently need your help.
The best way to help the British Red Cross is by making an online donation today. Whatever you can give will help us be here for humanity – responding to emergencies, planning for future ones, and building strong, resilient communities in the UK and around the world.
So, if you can donate, please don’t wait.
Help the British Red Cross' work with a donation today.
Why does the British Red Cross ask for monthly donations?
A regular monthly donation to the charity helps us plan our work, because it helps us know how much income we’ll have in the future. It also helps you to plan your giving and gives you the flexibility to change it at any time.
People need us right now, and we need you.
