Become a collecterThe Red Cross fundraiser takes place annually on the first Sunday of October, where
collectors from around the country come together to raise funds for people in need,
nationally and globally. We raise funds to provide immediate assistance and to ensure
acute and life-saving support when the next disaster strikes.
In 2023 it takes place on October 1st!
WHAT ARE THE FUNDS USED FOR?
The Red Cross is always there. We are the world’s largest humanitarian organisation, and for more
than 150 years, we have helped people through wars, catastrophes, and vulnerable life situations.
Every year, we provide disaster relief for 85 million people worldwide. We also use a portion of the
funds to support the extensive social work carried out right here at home, including the efforts of
volunteers at Red Cross Copenhagen.
