Our newly elected National Youth Representative, Dan Wilden, is passionate about inspiring and mobilising the next generation of Red Cross people who volunteer their time.

As the consequences of the disastrous earthquake in Myanmar unfold, we are aware that the global landscape of humanitarian assistance funding is rapidly changing.

Our Secretary General, Sarah Stuart-Black, writes here about the impact of those changes.

As a boy growing up in England’s southwest, Snowy Lintern wanted to be a sailor. “I ran away to sea as soon as I could.”

He joined the Royal Navy in 1987 and stayed for 25 years, during which he served in Iraq and deployed to Afghanistan. He’s been an armed forces delegate with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) since 2018 and is based in Tokyo, where he covers Asia-Pacific.

Take on a new fitness challenge this autumn! Get involved with Red Cross Journey, where every dollar raised helps us to provide shelter, supplies and support to those most in need.

We’re taking the time to remember those who served in the past, as well as the incredible humanitarians we continue to deploy overseas to provide relief in conflict zones.
