The Cayman Islands Red Cross recently hosted its Annual Volunteer Appreciation event, “The Henris". The event aims to recognize and highlight the outstanding achievements of the CIRC volunteers in 2022.

The award was given to the Red Cross for its immense contribution to Caymanian society, having dedicated the last 60 years to providing invaluable services to our islands.

Thanks to our partners donations and support we are able to continue our important work in the community. This support is invaluable and we are deeply appreciative. We look forward to continuing to work together to make a positive and lasting impact.

The volunteers manned the government shelters and made sure all 9 Red Cross containers are fully stocked with equipment.

The Tournament was dedicated to the Hurricane Preparedness efforts and serves as the main fundraising event for the programs provided by the organization.

We are proud to announce that Jondo Obi, our devoted Director, has received the British Empire Medal for services in the community. The medal was given to Obi as part of the Queen's Jubilee honors.

The “Bobo and Teedee: Health and Hygiene” video, which featured a brand new handwashing song, was created almost entirely during the lockdown and had to be adjusted to reflect the ever-changing hygiene guidelines. The video as made available free of cost to schools in Cayman, across the region, and in the United States. One year later Bobo and Teedee would find themselves in Iraq.

Supporters, staff, and volunteers of the Cayman Islands Red Cross recently gathered at Government House to commemorate the organization’s 6oth anniversary. The event was hosted by HE the Governor, Martyn Roper, who lauded the organization’s dedicated volunteers and staff for their invaluable service to the community.

The Cayman Islands Red Cross (CIRC), which sits as the chair of the Volunteer Agency Responders (VARs) under the NEOC, held the annual 2021 VARs meeting, as part of the preparations for hurricane season and future emergencies, such as pandemics and natural or manmade disasters.

HE the Governor, Mr. Martyn Roper, who is also the Patron of the Cayman Islands Red Cross (CIRC) visited the Shelter and met with staff and volunteers. The newly renovated shelter which was officially opened in January this year is a 24/7 facility and is ready and available to provide a safe haven for those needing assistance during an emergency.

The Cayman Islands Red Cross has launched an appeal to support the victims of Hurricane Eta in Central America. While the full impact of the category 4 hurricane is not yet known, rapid initial assessments from Red Cross officials on the ground have identified as many as 1.7 million persons affected in Honduras, 30,000 persons in Nicaragua, and 144,000 persons affected in Guatemala.

The CIRC has been in response mode since March 16, 2020 and due to the health considerations of COVID-19 the organization has had to suspend all non-response services since that time. This has meant that two main sources of income, first aid training and the sale of goods via our Thrift Shop, have been directly impacted due to the inability to provide these services under government restrictions.
