    Throughout Belgium, the Belgian Red Cross relies on around one hundred local branches and thousands of volunteers. These teams work daily to support the population.

    Depending on local needs, they provide food aid, first aid training, promote blood donation, offer second-hand items or paramedical equipment, and respond to emergency situations.

    What is Reliage?

    Since the 2010s, Belgian Red Cross volunteers have been reaching out specifically to anyone wishing to (re)build social connections, enjoy companionship, and receive support.

    What is Together All Connected?

    Belgian Red Cross volunteers help isolated individuals become familiar with digital tools so they can stay connected with their loved ones and access their rights and services.
