The British Red Cross has been a lifeline for people for 150 years. Today, as we face the coronavirus pandemic and its impacts, that lifeline means more than ever.
I'm taking part in The Wonderful Walk of Kindness. I'll be choosing a route, walking the distance and doing a good deed for someone who needs it along the way. It's a chance to not only cheer someone up in my community, but also to support a really important cause, so please sponsor me! The funds will help British Red Cross staff and volunteers to continue:
- Delivering food, medicine and essentials to people forced into vulnerable situations, who wouldn't be able to cope without our support.
- Working with the NHS by getting patients home from over 100 hospitals across the UK, freeing up beds so our healthcare services can keep treating people.
- Supporting those in need by giving emotional help to anyone struggling with loneliness, grief or anxiety in isolation, and practical support to those facing economic hardship.
