[ July 14th 2005 ]

The British Red Cross responded immediately to last week's bombings, giving first aid and comfort to those affected. Since then, volunteers and staff have been providing assistance and supporting the Mayor's appeal.

Following a request from the London Ambulance Service, the Red Cross deployed 25 ambulances to Euston, Russell Square St Pancras, Marylebone and Edgware Road. Red Cross volunteers were also at King's Cross supporting shocked commuters trying to get out of London.

Other volunteers met returning commuters at railway stations in the South East throughout Thursday evening to provide comfort and practical support where required.

The British Red Cross have launched an appeal on behalf of those effected by the London bombings. For more information on The Red Cross, and to contibute to a fund, please follow the hyperlink below.
