Sign up to Red Cross Journey

New Zealand Red Cross.

Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people

By mobilising the power of humanity

And enhancing community resilience.

Between July 2023 and June 2024,

Together, we achieved that mission.

We helped 852 former refugees to settle in their new homeland

By helping them settle in homes and communities

Or finding jobs or further education

We connected people who lost their loved ones in tragedy or conflicts

Delivered 714,035 meals and a friendly smile to those who needed a hot lunch every day.

We responded to calls for welfare support across the country

Spent 277 hours in the communities working alongside those impacted by emergencies

And continued our work in communities impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland floods.

We sent team members overseas to help others

And helped prepare for the next emergency both there and here at home

Always, we will call for the rules of war to be upheld and followed

This year we welcomed 1516 new Red Cross members to our team of 10,766

Spread from Kaitaia to Bluff.

We’re organised into seven areas

And 40 branches

Our members gave countless hours of their own time to be there for New Zealanders

When they needed us

And raised money to help others

Wherever the need is greatest.

We trained 68,218 people to save lives

Placed 201 AED across the country

And supported communities through our shops

While diverting tonnes of product from landfill

We’re proud of what we have achieved together

And look forward to what 2025 will bring

Since 1915

Red Cross people have worked together

to mobilise humanity and improve the lives of vulnerable people.
