As we celebrate all Red Cross people on World Red Cross Red Crescent Day this year, we asked, what are the values of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, shared by New Zealand Red Cross, and why should we care about them?

Secretary-General Sarah Stuart-Black and Fiona Ross – General Manager People Experience and Support Fiona explain.

We’re taking the time to remember those who served in the past, as well as the incredible humanitarians we continue to deploy overseas to provide relief in conflict zones.

Four mornings a week, Mike and Maud Burke drive the short distance from their home in Papatoetoe to Middlemore Hospital to collect the meals for their Meals on Wheels run and then set off to deliver hot nutritious food to 18 people. The trip takes them one and a half hours a day.

Pete Scott, our Pacific Programmes Lead, International Operations is just back from a three-day hui in Fiji with Pacific Island National Societies and funding partners.  

On 19 March 2024, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) held its annual Day of Remembrance. Each year we honour and pay tribute to our colleagues who have lost their lives or who have been seriously injured while performing their humanitarian duties.
