British Red Cross

British Red Cross

The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, responding to disasters, conflicts and individual emergencies here in the UK and across the world. We enable vulnerable people to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their own communities. And when the crisis is over, we help people to recover and move on with their lives.

When writing a will, your first priority will of course be to provide for your loved ones, but many people choose to also include a gift in their will to help others in the future. Any size gift you may wish to leave in your will to the British Red Cross could be a lifeline to someone in need of help.

A gift in your will to the Red Cross means that we can continue to be there for people in crisis, long into the future.

"The water is the most basic but most important thing for us."

Yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis the world has witnessed, a country where 80% of the population require humanitarian aid to survive.

A result of over six years of non-stop conflict, floods, outbreaks of diseases and economic collapse have left the lives of over 30 million Yemeni without access to clean water, food and shelter.  

Supporting the Yemen Red Crescent, the British Red Cross is currently working alongside the YRCS to provide clean and safe water.

Within some parts of Yemen, including the capital Sana’a, the only access to clean water is delivered by trucks by the Yemen Red Crescent Society and their Red Cross partners.

Khairia, 60, who lives in the historical Old City with her family relies on the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement water points. “Before the water point, I was walking very far to get water but now these tanks solved a lot of problems. It is enough for my family. We use it to clean and wash – for cooking and for drinking. The water is the most basic but most important thing for us.”
