New Zealand Red Cross

New Zealand Red Cross is part of the world's largest and oldest humanitarian organisation, working for the good of all people, independent of race, state, religion or politics. Our mission is to improve the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, whether it's delivering a meal in a New Zealand town or providing medical care in Syria.

From providing education programmes, to helping in the hours after a natural disaster, to supporting those along the recovery journey, we support communities every step of the way by mobilising the power of humanity and enhancing resilience.

Here for good. Doing good things. Encouraging others to do good too.
