The British Red Cross are the world’s emergency responders. When you see a major emergency in the news, it’s likely that the British Red Cross are helping those affected. From earthquakes to armed conflict, from fires to floods, in the UK and abroad, our teams react quickly with humanitarian aid and kindness across 192 countries, applying local knowledge and global expertise to save lives and provide comfort. Outside of emergencies, in the UK, our services reach people who are vulnerable to provide company, care and compassion.

The AEMT enjoys a degree of synergy with the work the Red Cross undertakes globally, as it reflects the ‘emergency response’ service that our members provide to industry and commerce; keeping lights on, water flowing, transport running, and factories producing. Red Cross workers are among the first on the scene at floods, fires, terrorist attacks and natural disasters around the world, as are AEMT members at power stations, water treatment plants, factories, and refineries; whenever the need arises.

On the night of the Awards, we will be supporting the charity with a game of Higher or Lower.
