Diversity & Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and want you to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We aim to create an inclusive environment that promotes kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space, we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role.
