Why you should donate monthly
Today, the world seems to be facing more crises than ever. With an endless cycle of bad news as the backdrop to our daily lives, it would be easy to give in to despair. But the British Red Cross will never give up. For more than 150 years we have been there for people who have nowhere else to turn, and we won’t stop now. Even a small amount from you can change lives. Plus, donating little and often means the British Red Cross can make an even bigger impact whenever and wherever we are needed. There are multiple ways regular giving can help us.
- It allows us to plan ahead for long-term projects.
- It helps us to respond more quickly in emergencies.
- It gives us stability: Knowing what’s coming helps us budget, so we can use it where funds are needed most.

What will my monthly donation achieve?
The British Red Cross can only support people in the UK and overseas with your help. Monthly donations are hugely valuable because they are a promise to support us every month. Giving a little, regularly, means we can plan and support schemes all year round. Your donation could help us across everything we do – from helping a refugee who has been forced to flee their home, to supporting someone who has lost everything in a natural disaster.
- £5 could provide a community in Bangladesh with training on water sanitation and hygiene, helping people keep themselves healthy after a disaster.
- £12 could buy a hygiene pack for a refugee or person seeking asylum in the UK, giving them access to some of the basics no one should have to go without.
- £20 could give a parent in the UK the essential items they need to care for a newborn baby, when they have lost everything due to flooding.
- £50 could help a family in Nigeria prepare for when severe flooding hits again.
- £75 could keep 150 survivors of a fire at a block of flats in the UK warm, while we support them to find emergency accommodation for the night.

How much should you donate?
Giving regularly each month means you can make a huge difference with even a small amount. You can always adjust the amount as you need to after starting your regular donation to us. We know that the cost of living today is making life more challenging. Just as a monthly donation helps us to plan for longer-term projects and responses to emergencies, giving monthly spreads the cost, making budgeting easier for you and which might be more manageable than a one-off donation.
