My organisation

Helping people in need. That's what the Red Cross stands for. With the largest volunteer aid network in the world, we are ready to help those who need us most. We respond to disasters, conflicts and emergencies. With national societies in 191 countries, we are always close by. Also in the Netherlands we are ready for action. About 10,000 volunteers and 106,000 people in our civil aid network Ready2Help are committed to helping people in need. Has a fire broke out in a flat? We take care of the residents. Sprain your ankle during a race? Chances are you will meet our emergency workers at the first aid post. Want to know what to do if your child chokes? Our first aid app and first aid courses offer help. Want to know more about what we do, and how you can help? Check out rodekruis.nl.
