British Red Cross Opiniones 

Generally I like the idea of the British Red Cross and it's helping in overseas aid in disasters and emergencies. I like the stores selling donated items. I like the staff. I don't however at all like the political stances taken on BLM and other issues with training courses run in awareness of such political agenda issues, being supported by a charity organisation run on people's personal charity donations. Nor do I like some practises of the Red Cross shops. Like in event of needing a refund if anything bought turns out to be faulty goods, like a dvd I recently bought in good faith as being playable, for three pounds, that I afterwards found out could not be played in UK region 2 players. It was region 1 only although it was not obviously stated on the outer of the goods. You know when you try to play it and it comes up with wrong region on your dvd player. What's definitely wrong is their telling me they need my written down name and postcode to prove identity for refund to be done. No. Statutory rights. In any shop sale in UK you are legally protected in case of any faulty goods by a no question refund. With your shop receipt alone as proof of purchase. I do not and should not be asked to provide proof of who I am and where I live. That's also against modern data protection laws I believe. To be asking for as requirement to refund any such information being collected.

Following recent stroke. Red Cross supposed to deliver aid to help me sit up / get out of bed
3 weeks still waiting he “ forgot” last time no sign of it since
Waited 2 weeks for bath seat due today- waited in all day not arrived
So I’ll sleep in a chair and continue 3 weeks no hair wash
Remove government funding (millions ro run this service) to stop disabled people being abandoned
Utter farce
Disabling disabled people

I believe British Red Cross is under a terrible management. I've been to many shops here in the North and online. They get everything for free, they try to resell most things at a absurd price.
They filter everything that is good on the back and I believe we never get to see what was donated with value. Not even wondering where it's going to end.
Met one staff that had more than 20 925 silver bracelets on one wrist and more than 20 gold bracelets on the other. She was also loaded with silver and gold necklaces. When I ask her where did she got it, she got nervous. When I asked her to see anything 925 silver she was showing very small pendants asking more than £20 for something so small.
I go to furniture shops and they have super old furniture for more than £100 everything we couldn't buy anything.
They get donated everything with good Hearth and they try to extort people. You would help the community and yourself with some sales with more affordable prices and I mean in general. How can you sell random plates and old pieces for £30 or more. You're detached from reality.

The best first aid course, probably the best ever course I have attended. Three days with trainer GW in Chester @ 4A Vicars Lane.
I encourage companies to support this Charity and quarantee your employees with come away far more knowledgable and confident about helping to save lives.

Attended a 1 day emergency at work place first aid course. Billie from the British Red Cross in Moorgate London, our trainer made the whole day very enjoyable, fun and interactive. Amongst all the first aid courses that I've attended over the years this was by far the best. Thank you

Attended a one day emergency first aid at work course yesterday at Chichester Park Hotel. I was a little apprehensive before atteneding due to Covid but felt completely safe and confident in the measures put in place. Our trainer Debbie was brilliant. The course was fun, informative and Debbie checked at every stage we all understood and were happy to move on to the next scenario. I can't recommend this course highly enough and look forward to my refresher in three years.
Thank you...

Sorry to be misleading but there was not a option for 0 stars. This needs sorting, Trustpilot!!
Just watched the 'Leave us money to us in your will advert'! Where the woman asks you to leave money "to the Red Cross and Red Crescent" , and all through the advert there are examples of what they do, but only examples of the Red Cross NOT a single one for Red Crescent!! So why should we leave money to them?
And they support the marxist/jihadist blm terrorist group!!
NOT A PENNY!
Shame on them!!

I've recently completed a 2 day First Aid at Work course , really well done and fully took current covid precautions into account. Interesting, informative and engaging, I certainly be booking further training with them.

Just done a refresher course on the 24th & 25th November at Shrewsbury with one of your trainer Julie Scandariato & had a very good experience she was very professional & with only being a small group we all agreed we learned more. Julie also helped us all if we were struggling with anything she kept going over & over it until we & she was happy that we were confident with the procedure very satisfying experience.

Manger not great at all at dealing with problems but you know it is how it is all apart from that great 😊😊😊😊

Poor treatment during the recruitment process, unlikely to apply again.

These guys ask you to fill out a lengthy application on their website, then have the cheek to ask you to give them an internal review - whilst in the same breath - denying you individual feedback.

If you cannot treat your candidates with respect, why should I have faith in your customer service and professional conduct?

I have been physically disabled since I was 36 and about to hit the big 60. I have been using a wheelchair that I obtained from Ebay😳. It is becoming harder and harder to push. Today I had my first contact with the Great Yarmouth British Cross and the experience was superb. The gentleman who looked after me was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable able. We rented a chair and he advised of a scheme to get a new one. An easy 5 stars.

Gone woke and now supports Marxist BLM racists.

From the Red Cross What-we-stand-for page:
"Impartiality
The Movement makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.

It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Neutrality
In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature."

Yet the Red Cross runs training courses promoting BLM - go see www .redcross.org.uk /get-involved/teaching-resources/black-lives-matter-resources-for-young-people

Not inclusive, partisan, ideological, racist, anti-family, anti-white, anti everything decent...

I don't know how HM Queen can patronise this org unless she supports this nastiness. Maybe it is time for a republic.

Today is day one of my 1st Aid refresher course in worthing.
I cannot fault the trainer at all. She has been amazing, for a change I find myself engaged on a course and dare I say, enjoying it. I look forward to day 2.

Recruiter in London was teaching us to act in front of potential customers to con them over with emotions, he was an actor himself and was telling us to pretend in front of the public by acting

Your staff and volunteers are doing a fantastic job keep up the good work. thank you all recently for my food delivery during these testing times. I really appreciate it!

The Mitcham branch is my favourite shop! Amazing staff and the quality of items that you find here are just incredible! Once we’re out from lockdown, it’s the first shop that I’d visit! Thank you

Due to a house move and downsizing I had an awful lot of stuff like beautiful hard back books, trinkets clothes and shoe's, nothing was junk - that I took to landfill, the website states donations of clothes books etc, I called them and arranged a collection, a gentleman turned up and was quite polite, but instantly did not want to take books, and wanted me to take them somewhere else, when I said but most have never been read and are unwanted gifts - he claimed they are hardback, they will instantly just be recycled.. I was shocked at how he handled the goods all just thrown in a van, trinkets etc will probably be broken - just complete lack of respect - had it all been junk I would of taken it to the dump - I will never donate again - I'd rather give everything to a car booter.. From the conversation I get the impression the volunteers go threw anything and get first refusal of anything of any worth, Some to the charity shop and the rest to landfill..
