The Red Cross is reminding the community to spare a thought, and possibly a gift, to support the work of the Red Cross this Christmas.
“One more gift can be a daily phone call to check on the welfare of an older or isolated person living alone,” says actress and Red Cross Ambassador Kate Ritchie.
“Christmas is not always a joyful occasion and many will be lonely or separated from their families over the festive season, “One more gift to Red Cross can be a hot meal for a homeless teenager on Christmas Eve, clean drinking water for a young child in Myanmar or support for a community trying to rebuild after a fire or flood.”
