#OnThisDay in 1870, the British Red Cross was formed. Our volunteers have been putting the #PowerOfKindness into action for 148 years and counting.

Many congratulations to David, Lesley, Colin and Margaret on your new years honours. Thankyou for all you have done and will do. #PowerOfKindness

We're so glad we could help Emma's young son. ♿ If you need a #wheelchair, get in touch: bit.ly/2vUDttg

Great to spend time with Kiran from BRC’s #TeamCES yesterday at the opening of the new, upgraded call centre in Nottingham. An overdue improvement for the fantastic team here. Thanks for the great cake too!! ⁦British Red Cross 🧡⁩

Shout out to the guy who didn’t have any change but insisted on keeping me and volunteer fundraiser James going with doughnuts, true #PowerOfKindness #RedCrossWeek #BigBucketShake British Red Cross 🧡

Huge thanks to Dolapo from CEMAS who’s raised nearly £130 at Humanity House in Nottingham from organising quizzes and activities (and hit me up with her bucket this morning 🤓) Great job! #RedCrossWeek #BigBucketShake #PowerOfKindness ⁦British Red Cross 🧡⁩

Some of the fab Nottingham CEMAS crew (with International Youth Volunteer Sargis) who made it a fun RCW. Special shout for Dolapo (with bucket) who pulled things together! #RedCrossWeek #PowerOfKindness ⁦British Red Cross 🧡⁩

Fantastic, inspirational day with the brilliant ⁦British Red Cross 🧡⁩ MAS team at the Frontline Practitioners Conference (who fundraised £45 for Head of Ops Geoff to close the event in this wig 😂😂😂 good man!) #PowerOfKindness #HireAWheelchair

Last chance to help @britishredcross put #firstaid teaching on curriculum in Wales. From 2020, it will be taught in English schools. We want the same for Wales. Contact Welsh government to help create a future generation of lifesavers: bit.ly/2YsX4yW #FirstAidinSchools

Deeply concerning report by Matt Dathan in The Times and The Sunday Times on Home Office plans to put people seeking asylum in "reception centres". This risks isolating people from communities & support while not tackling the key issues facing the UK's asylum system. thetimes.co.uk/article/channe…

We love hearing stories of family connections with the British Red Cross. Alan Carr, Alan Carr Chatty Man, recently discovered his links with the Red Cross in the new series of ITV’s DNA Journey. Tune in to ITV tonight at 9pm. ITV #DNAJourney
