British Red Cross
The British Red Cross is a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are, with more than 20,500 volunteers and 4,000 staff in the UK. We are part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, disasters and individual emergencies.
Based on our experience we also speak out and give a voice to people in crisis to try to address the root causes. We refuse to ignore people in crisis.
We are asking all political parties to consider policies that support our vision for people in crisis:
-
Health and social care: everyone should get the support they need to live independently at home
-
First aid: everyone should know how to save a life
-
Refugees and asylum seekers: those who seek sanctuary in the UK should be treated fairly and humanely
-
International: principled humanitarian action should be protected to ensure the most vulnerable are assisted
