About us

Helping people in need around the corner – and far away, from our hearts and with our sleeves rolled up. That is what the Red Cross stands for.

We do this by increasing people's resilience, so that they help themselves and others in emergency situations. In the Netherlands, the Red Cross helps with more than fourteen thousand volunteers by providing Emergency Aid, Event Aid, First Aid (education) and Citizen Aid, among other things.

Volunteers are committed to helping people. It gives them satisfaction to be of significance to someone else. And to grow as a person. Collegiality is valuable; the volunteers help each other when necessary and they take each other into account. Together they are ready for everyone.

When choosing the right candidate, the Red Cross is not guided by cultural background, physical limitations, gender identity, religious beliefs, orientation or age.
