The Fiji Red Cross Society (FRCS) was first established as a branch of the British Red Cross in 1952, with presence in key urban centres dating back to the early 1900s. The Fiji Red Cross was then registered as a National Society in 1971, following Fiji’s independence from Great Britain in 1970. At the core of its work, the FRCS is a community focussed organisation with aims to empower the communities it serves, through the work of trained community-based volunteers across the country. The Fiji Red Cross Society is auxiliary to the Government of Fiji, delivering emergency assistance and other humanitarian services to the people of Fiji. Our programmes are delivered through a network of 16 Branches and 3 Divisional Red Cross Centre’s. We are dedicated to building a safe, healthy and resilient Fiji, in partnership with local communities and stakeholders.
