Help people in crisis and donate now: No matter how hard it gets, we’ll never give up.
Right now, across the world, escalating conflicts are taking a devastating toll. With tensions rising in the Middle East, thousands of people have been injured and hundreds have died, and the number of casualties rises every day.
As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, with local teams operating in all impacted countries, our teams are already there, supporting people wherever they can. But as thousands of people find themselves without homes and needs increase across the world, we cannot meet the growing demand without your help.
Your support today will help us reach more people, faster, wherever the need is greatest. In the UK or abroad in Ukraine, Gaza or the wider Middle East, the British Red Cross is ready to bring comfort and aid when all hope and humanity feels lost.
Please donate to our appeal, if you can.
Why your donation to the British Red Cross matters
Whatever the amount, your gift counts
Your donation 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 year, 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.

How donating to the British Red Cross can help
Our teams in the UK and around the world are on the ground helping people in crisis. Your donation will help us provide:
- food, clean water, shelter and clothing in an emergency
- emergency response services
- refugee support services
- support to victims of modern slavery and trafficking
- wheelchair services
- help finding missing family
If you're able to support the British Red Cross with a one-off or monthly donation, every time you hear about our work, you’ll know you’ve played a part in it.
- £5 could provide a community in Bangladesh with training on water sanitation and hygiene, helping people keep themselves healthy after a disaster.
- £12 could buy a hygiene pack for a refugee or person seeking asylum in the UK, giving them access to some of the basics no one should go without.
- £20 could give a parent in the UK the essential items they need to care for a newborn baby, when they have lost everything due to flooding.
- £50 could help a family in Nigeria prepare for when severe flooding hits again.
- £75 could keep 150 survivors of a fire at a block of flats in the UK warm, while we support them to find emergency accommodation for the night.
