Red Cross Appeal Week is the annual fundraising week for the British Red Cross, and is held over the week of 8 May, the anniversary of the birth of Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross Movement. This year it runs from the 2 – 8 May, and during that week many of our volunteers will be collecting in various town centre locations and also by going from house to house with their collecting boxes. Any help that you can give enables us to provide vital services for the people of Oxfordshire. Thank you.
Locally we offer emergency response to those affected by disasters such as fires, floods or train or major vehicle crashes. We lend wheelchairs and home nursing aids; we help people home from hospital and offer specialised transport and escort services for those with mobility problems. Volunteers give comfort with hand and shoulder massages to the ill and anxious in hospitals, hospices and rest homes and we can offer camouflage treatment to those suffering with disfigurements or scars.
