🚨 At 3pm on Sunday 23 April, there will be a national test of the UK Emergency Alerts service. As we have seen in other countries, Emergency Alerts help keep you safe if there is an immediate risk to life by sending an alert direct to your mobile phone. gov.uk/government/new…

Great to be at the British Red Cross 🧡 Crisis and Emergency response conference. Over 100 volunteers, staff and partners talking about how we can better help people and communities prepare, respond and recover when crisis or emergencies happen. Truly inspiring people.

Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has said "Keep Calm and Carry On, this is just a test” ahead of the nationwide test of the Emergency Alerts system at 3pm today 👇 gov.uk/government/new…

Don’t forget, today at 3pm……

Well done team SJA, amazing to see!

Chris Davies, our Head of Crisis Response said: "They will provide practical and emotional support at this vital time. This could include cash-based assistance or something as simple as a cup of tea and someone to listen to them." We will be there for as long as we're needed.

Our fantastic Daff Beech was on Virgin Radio today with life saving tips - have a listen!

Thanks to all our volunteer teams who have deployed in the UK and our PST who we have deployed abroad offering psychosocial support. Also a massive thanks to our ops teams behind the scenes making this happen.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead our Crisis and Emergency work across Scotland (and you get to work with the amazing Rob Murray!)

I can’t really add more words to this, but to agree with Alex - how has it come to this?

How amazing is this, such an amazing and valued resource to help people in crisis. Real thanks to @jaguarlandrover for their ongoing commitment and support.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. From attending house fires, to delivering education or wheelchairs (and so much more - it’s a long list!). Put simply they make the Red Cross what it is. Thank you to every single one of you, you are amazing in your selflessness. ❤️

So, after 6 amazing years my time at the British Red Cross 🧡 has come to an end. What an incredible journey, 5 million people reached in the last 3 years alone responding to the biggest crisis of our time. Thanks to everyone at the BRC and anyone who has been part of my journey.

Matt Hyde, Scouts CEO, share the latest update direct from South Korea on how UK Scouts are getting on with their new Jamboree programme in Seoul. youtu.be/v5xG4nlLslo

What a week. When I landed in Seoul over a week ago no one expected what unfolded. It’s simple, safety is our number 1 priority. Now UK Scouts will have a different but amazing time discovering an alternative Jamboree and what else S. Korea has to offer. youtu.be/eDG6pPK-q6w

In July I joined the amazing world of Scouts, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I have loved it - a few reflections here for those who are interested. 🏕️ linkedin.com/posts/mattkill…
