British Red Cross
For over 150 years, the British Red Cross has run towards disaster – to go where we’re needed most, when we’re needed most. As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, spanning the UK and 190 countries, our teams respond to emergencies with life-saving practical and emotional support.
Mercy Ships UK
Mercy Ships brings free, life-changing surgeries to people across sub-Saharan Africa. As faith-based charity, we follow the model of Jesus to bring hope and healing. Our hospital ships reach women, men and children facing poverty. From blindness to bowed legs. Cleft lips to tumours. Our medical volunteers help those who have no one else to turn to. We couldn’t do this you.
