The British Red Cross are a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. They enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their own communities. And when the crisis is over, they help people to recover and move on with their lives.
Although many efforts are made to assist those suffering overseas, we must remember that charity starts at home, below are just a few figures from 2011 demonstrating the support the British Red Cross provides the UK through its Emergency Responses, First Aid Training, Health & Social Care and Protecting People in Conflict to name but a few;
- Responded to 4,200 emergency call outs in the UK, ranging from fires and power cuts to bomb alerts
- Supported 397,000 people in the UK with health and social care services
- Provided 30,000 people with first aid at 9,000 public events across the UK
