Local British Red Cross volunteers are dedicated to helping people in a crisis.
Whether it's helping people caught up in emergencies such as the widespread flooding last summer, providing practical support to those recently out of hospital, or providing first aid cover at community events, helping when people are vulnerable is w
hat they do, day in, day out – rain or shine.
However, they can't do it alone, and that's why I am writing today to ask for just two hours of your readers' time. Red Cross Appeal Week (May 4-10) raises awareness of British Red Cross activities and sees many thousands of collectors take to the streets, shopping centres and offices to raise money for the Red Cross.
On behalf of our volunteers in Warwickshire, I am appealing to the generosity of your readers to support their efforts and give just two hours of their time to help us collect during Red Cross Appeal Week.
To register as a collector and find out more about local collecting opportunities, please call 0844 412 2728 or visit www.redcross.org.uk/appealweek.
Help the Red Cross to continue to be there, rain or shine for vulnerable people in our local community. - Sir Nicholas Young, Chief Executive, British Red Cross Society.
