The Anguilla Red Cross has begun its community transport service in 2009, with members of the Island Harbor and East End communities, making regular visits to the Welches Polyclinic every other Monday. Since then, our transport service grew to other areas and members of the Anguilla community. Our beneficiary list grew to the point where needed volunteers were no longer available to meet the demand. With the increase in demand the ARC took on massive fundraising venture to purchase a larger, modern wheelchair bus. After acquiring the new wheelchair bus the ARC expanded its services to offer school transport assistance to the DOVE center west end.

Like everyone in Anguilla, the Red Cross suffered the consequences of Irma, with important damages, including the bus for the transport services. As of January 31 2019 the Anguilla Red Cross will put in standby its community and School transport service. The ARC continues support the Anguilla Community in many other ways such as Disaster preparedness and response, resilience, First Aid, Water Safety,  Health fairs, Thrift shop services, and much more. We are thankful for the support we have received over the years and we are looking forward for your continued involvement. We keep our strong commitment to Anguilla population and communities, in normal times and in crisis.

March / April are traditional months for sporting activities in Montserrat and sees Red Cross first aiders out in force. Over a four week period, the island becomes alive with sporting events to include a Primary Schools athletics meet, a Secondary School athletics meet, motorsports, a freedom run, basketball & cricket matches and around the island relay road race.

The Red Cross’s team of first aiders, some 24 strong, are busy providing first aid cover at all the events over this period of time. They were particularly engaged during the round the island relay road race at which they provided cover at each change over spot and also followed the runners around the route in their Red Cross vehicle.

This year, one runner collapsed as he handed over his baton to a team member after running a particularly gruelling part of the race and the Red Cross team was on the spot to help.

Over the course of a year the Red Cross First Aid team provides cover at over 25 public events.
