Diversity and Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. Our expenses policy prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role.
Health and Safety Statement
We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and discuss any adjustments you may need. For some locations we may not be able to host 15‑17 year olds; please contact us to find a suitable volunteering opportunity.
