Why we need your help
In a crisis, the red cross is a sign of hope. Whether someone is struggling to cope at home after a hospital stay, a family has been torn apart by conflict or a community has been struck by a natural disaster, we are there.
And that’s all thanks to you. We rely on your support to help people cope with a crisis in the UK and overseas.
Make a donation today and you will bring comfort to someone when they need it most. You will help families survive when disaster strikes. Your generosity will give more people clean water, food, medicine and shelter.
There is someone who needs you today. Your donation can change their life.
I used to feel lonely… I could spend hours alone. Now I feel much better in myself.
