Our life-saving work is funded entirely by the generosity of our supporters, so every step we make towards beating cancer relies on every pound, and every runner. One in two people now survive cancer. Together we’ve achieved so much, but we won’t stop until we’ve beaten it altogether. Join the team today and we will beat cancer.

Imagine if you had to struggle to breathe every day just from getting out of bed. Or you were living constantly worried about your heart or scared that you might have another stroke at any moment. Living with the reality of a long term health condition can be confusing and isolating. Every day activities such as picking up a knife and fork, making a cup of tea or leaving the house can feel like a massive challenge. Today, one in five people in Scotland are living with the effects of chest, heart and stroke conditions. More people than ever before need our stroke nurses, rehabilitation support workers and peer support groups. Run for us so that we can support more people to take back their lives, regain their confidence and independence and live life to the full. Take on the challenge.

The British Red Cross aims to ensure that no-one faces a crisis alone. Before the Ukraine Crisis, over 80 million people were displaced across the world, forcing women, young children and families to seek refuge and asylum to escape persecution, violence, war and death. Now a further 10 million people have joined that devastating number, making the work that we do even more vital. There’s never been a more important time for the British Red Cross – and every member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – to be there for people in crisis.

The Red Cross helps people get the support they need, at the right time, and for as long as they need it – whether that’s food, clothing, first aid, cash, healthcare or emotional support.
