Story

In every emergency, the faster our teams can respond, the more lives we save.

But none of this is possible without you.

The British Red Cross Emergencies Fund is a way to help people in disaster and conflict zones, while also supporting our vital work in the UK and overseas. By donating to the British Red Cross Emergencies Fund you’ll help people in all disaster and conflict zones get support faster – help us reach people sooner, save more lives – and be ready when the next crisis strikes.

Since its launch in late 2022, the Emergencies Fund has supported our response to emergencies including flooding in Libya, the earthquake in Morocco, conflict in Sudan, and the Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria earthquakes, which have devastated thousands of people’s lives.

If you can, please consider supporting us today – anything you can afford to give will make a difference.
