Through the generous donation of one of the trusts administered by Appleby Trust, the Cayman Islands Red Cross recently received $1,000 to help fund their mission to protect vulnerable people in crisis.

“The Red Cross is a dynamic organisation that assists communities prepare for and respond to personal and national disasters.” commented Managing Director of Appleby Trust, Richard McMillan. He continued, “We are more than familiar with the impact of tropical cyclones and the Red Cross team disseminates life-saving information throughout the year so our community is fully prepared in the event of an impending storm.” He concluded, “Appleby Trust is pleased to support them in this undertaking.”

The Red Cross is the world’s leading crisis response organisation. Its local office in George Town is run by a five-man team and a group of dedicated volunteers. In addition to disaster preparedness and response training, the Red Cross offers other programmes such as first aid training, CPR certification courses and HIV and AIDS education.
