Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment and promote the power of kindness. We have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If upfront costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about alternatives.

We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.

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. Some locations may not host 15-17 year olds.
