About us
The British Red Cross is a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. We enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their own communities. And when the crisis is over, we help people recover and move on with their lives.
As a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement the British Red Cross is committed to, and bound by, seven fundamental principles: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, Unity and Universality.
Find out more about the fundamental principles and the UK and overseas work of the British Red Cross on our website.

About this blog
Our blog is written by volunteers and staff of the British Red Cross and is a window into how we go about helping people in crisis 365 days a year. These are peoples' personal views of being part of the Red Cross, so do not necessarily reflect the organisation's views. You'll find a more general view of what we do on the British Red Cross website.
