The British Red Cross (BRC) aims to meet immediate needs at times of disaster quickly and decisively, whilst being equally committed to helping communities address their persistent vulnerabilities, particularly by preparing for and mitigating, as well as recovering from, disasters.
Following the huge response from the public to a fundraising campaign to support Ukraine, the British Red Cross have established a £1,000,000 fund to support local VCS organisations directly supporting arrivals from Ukraine, and local infrastructure organisations to develop the capacity to prepare coordinate and enable the successful integration of Ukrainians displaced by the current conflict. The National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) has received £400,000 for infrastructure building, and the remaining £600,000 will be donated to community foundations across the UK for funding frontline activities.
