Warning triangle 'British Red Cross Society, First Aid' used for warning of first aid station at incidents or for training purposes, 1970s
The British Red Cross provided first aid at large scale events until 31 March 2020. They continue to offer first aid courses to help those who want to feel able to help in an emergency.
In 1870, the British National Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War was formed, following the out break or war between France and Prussia. In 1905, it was renamed as the British Red Cross. The British Red Cross provides both domestic and international emergency assistance, help with cost of living, mobility support, services for refugees, asylum seekers and anyone who requires their help. Volunteers remain a huge part of the Red Cross's work.
