Our mission
Belgian Red Cross-Flanders is helping
We are an independent volunteer organization with the unique status of "Government Helper. Through the Belgian Red Cross , we are part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Our mission
We stand up for vulnerable people in need, at home and abroad.
To achieve that goal, we are active in:
- Disaster Relief
We want to provide optimal assistance during disasters. We do this by deploying our volunteers quickly and adequately and through cooperation with other emergency services. Both nearby and worldwide, we are ready with emergency relief. - Self-reliance
We believe it is important for people to be able to help each other in an emergency. That's why we teach them first aid. We help other countries develop evidence-based first aid guidelines. - Blood supply
Throughout Flanders, we collect blood, plasma and platelets. Thanks to our donors, we can provide hospitals with vital, sufficient and safe blood and plasma products. We share our expertise in this field internationally.
In all this, we make maximum use of volunteers. Thanks to them, Belgian Red Cross-Flanders is always nearby: together we save lives.
