FRC - Finnish Red CrossMember

Finnish Red Cross is the one of the largest civic organisations in Finland. Our objective is to help those who need it most both in Finland and abroad.

Red Cross helps when a catastrophe or an accident occurs and trains people to be prepared. The organisation encourages people to look after their own well-being and to take care of each other.

Volunteers in Finland work in over 500 local branches in almost every municipality. Members and volunteers are important decision-makers on every level.
