In August we celebrated 150 years of the British Red Cross. Since 1870, we've continued to help people in crisis, without judgement.
Take another look at our 150th animation, brought to life by @itsanitarani. #BritishRedCross150
On #ArmisticeDay we remember all those who lost their lives during WW1 and other conflicts, including our dedicated volunteers. My interview @BBCSoP talking about the beginnings of @BritishRedCross and the charityβs role during war. #BritishRedCross150

VADS helped search for missing loved ones in hospitals, we transported sick and wounded soldiers and provided short term wheelchair loans for them. #BritishRedCross150

We love this tribute to a founding member. β€#BritishRedCross150
Princess Helena Victoria, sister of King Edward VII, was a founding member of the British Red Cross and President of the Royal British Nurses Association.
Champion of healthcare workers, she fought for better working conditions, rights, and pay, which led to nurse registration
πThe answer is...True!
There was a national demand for eggs to feed to ill patients during WWI. From our national egg collection department in Belfast, donated eggs were transported in ambulances to hospitals in Ireland, England, Scotland and Europe. #BritishRedCross150
βIt's Sunday, and we felt like a quick quizβ
During WW1, the Red Cross created a 'national egg collection department'. True or False? π€
Wonderful to see a fellow interpreter being recognised with one of the 150th anniversary coins. Interpreting is not easy and it takes a special person to use their language skills in service of others. Congratulations Bashir! #BritishRedCross150
Red Cross volunteer Bashir has been nominated for a 150th anniversary coin.
As a refugee who settled in Glasgow, Bashir now volunteers as an Arabic interpreter with the British Red Cross to help other refugee families. π #BritishRedCross150
Anne, a coin nominee, has been volunteering with us for 80 years!
She joined as a volunteer during WWII when she was just seven years old, and spent nearly three decades teaching first aid. Recently, Anne has helped run our mobility aids service in Cornwall. #BritishRedCross150
