The British Red Cross has launched their new virtual website to help promote their ‘Pass the Parcel’ campaign. The new site allows people to create their own virtual Red Cross parcel, and then ‘pass’ the charity gift on to friends and family via email to add to the parcel, further increasing the size of the donation.
There is an amazing choice of virtual items to choose from to cater for all budgets, from water purification tablets costing £1.32 to a safe water system for £1,072. All money raised will help support the British Red Cross help vulnerable people in crisis across the globe in some of the places where aid is needed most.
The British Red Cross has delivered more than 20 million aid parcels since the first batch of basic food items was dispatched during the Second World War to captive soldiers. The Red Cross emblem still continues to this day with your help to cross frontlines and borders to help reach those in need, even in the most remote places.
