In the EU, the Red Cross network represents nearly one million and a half volunteers, employs 113,000 people and has over a thousand staff working internationally.
Although each National Society belongs to a different social, political and cultural system and performs different tasks, all share the same basic unifying principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In the EU, the Red Cross is a major provider of social and emergency services and a partner in policy discussions pertaining to humanitarian issues both within and outside the EU. This section of the RC/EU Office presents a profile of the EU National Societies: their structure, main activities and common interests within the EU context. It does not claim to be exhaustive. Realities, facts and figures change from day-to-day and we will update these profiles on a regular basis. |

Volunteer in your country
Our heart and our future: volunteers at the RC
Volunteering has been at the very heart of the Red Cross/Red Crescent since its inception in 1863. Today, as much as ever, volunteers are the backbone of all Red Cross/Red Crescent activities, helping National Societies run successful programmes and assisting millions of vulnerable people in need.
Volunteering in your own country
To become a volunteer with the Red Cross/Red Crescent, you need to contact the nearest branch of the National Society in your country for details of the programmes that they run and their current needs for volunteers. If you do not have an address for the nearest branch of your National Society, please look in the "RC Profiles" for EU National Societies or access the directory of the International Federation, where you will find contact details of each EU National Society. Otherwise, Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies should be listed in local telephone books. Thank you for your interest!
