Raising awareness and funds for RedR to support its humanitarian work

We’re proud to be a longstanding partner to RedR – an international non-governmental organisation – that strengthens capacity and supports aid workers and organisations to prepare and respond to crises.

RedR’s sustainable approach to humanitarian disaster relief, using training to tackle the social impacts of climate change, aligns with our CSR strategy and we are proud to support such an important cause.

Like us, RedR has a legacy in engineering which has evolved over time with its growing capabilities. Its focus to improve learning across the sector, through establishing competencies, standards and systems of recognition, enables shared knowledge and best practice.

In addition, RedR places an emphasis on sustainability. Through its projects, it upskills local people and organisations on the ground to ensure their local communities can respond to challenges for the long term as well as the short term. This is a practical approach that means aid workers aren’t frequently removed from other areas of need to provide immediate support elsewhere.

In recent times, RedR has taken a proactive approach in helping to respond to climate change. In south Asia, south-east Asia and east Africa, where agriculture is a core industry, the increasing number of floods, typhoons and landslides are causing severe challenges. Their training to support vulnerable communities in these regions helps protect living standards for local people.

We feel reassured that RedR designs their training with a socially and environmentally sustainable mindset and continues to provide support through corporate donations and fundraising. To help raise awareness and funds, we’ve recruited RedR champions who are passionate about their work.

A key example is the annual Go Red week, which our champions promote by encouraging our people to wear red clothing and raise funds through a range of activities. This included our champions in Croydon arranging a lunch for World Day for Cultural Diversity which helped raise £1200 and won RedR’s ‘Best Go Red Fundraising Idea’.

Baking and sharing treats with colleagues to raise funds for RedR was a heartwarming reminder of our collective power to contribute to society. Together, we wish to empower humanitarian workers worldwide, driving sustainable development through RedR’s impactful programmes and initiatives.
