About the British Red Cross

The Red Cross has 260 volunteers in the Merseyside area and this year, have helped those who have quarantined at Arrowe Park hospital in the Wirral. Throughout their stay, they have offered them emotional support by phone if needed, and the staff and volunteers made sure they received parcels from friends and family members.

How you can help

In Merseyside, more than 6,700 people make regular donations to the charity to help fund its work and many more make one-off donations. Here are two ways you can help: donate items to one of the charity’s six Merseyside-based charity shops or get sponsored to do events such as the Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon.

“We are incredibly excited about this event. Getting involved with the Red Cross gives you so many ways to use your kindness to help people in crisis. Every step you take could be helping a family made homeless by a house fire, someone who needs to borrow a wheelchair to stay independent after an accident and refugees and asylum seekers who need help settling into their new community or making contact with loved ones.”
