How much would you like to donate?

Help people in crisis and donate now: No matter how hard it gets, we’ll never give up.

Help provide lifesaving aid today

As you'll have read in the Life Matters newsletter we sent you, our Red Cross and Red Crescent teams are working hard to support people in crisis all around the world. Their efforts - powered by people like you - show those caught up in unbearable situations that there is somewhere and someone they can turn to for help. 

Your donations help make that possible

Whatever the amount, your gift counts 

Your donations could be a warm blanket for someone whose home has flooded. Or it could help supply a first aid kit so emergency teams can treat someone wounded on the side of the road. Or it could even be something simple like a toothbrush or a bar of soap, essentials that no one should have to go without.

Your generosity underpins everything we do - helping us to be there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the years, overseas and here in the UK. 

No matter how difficult things get, we'll never give up on being here for humanity. The fact you're reading this, shows you're not about to either. Thank you for choosing to donate today.



We refuse to ignore people in crisis. We help people cope with disasters, conflicts and personal crises in the UK and overseas.
