The British Red Cross is proud to have a diverse and neutral workforce. We are bound by seven fundamental principles including humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence and we are committed to welcoming people from the widest possible diversity of background, culture and experience.

The British Red Cross, incorporated by Royal Charter 1908, is a charity registered in England and Wales (220949) and Scotland (SC037738).
