Membership

At the AGM in January 2021, it was agreed that RedR would primarily use email to communicate with members. However, our records unfortunately show that we do not hold email addresses for nearly 30% of our members and this at a time when we are trying to re-engage members in RedR activities and important changes in membership are being discussed.

If you are a member and did not, for instance receive an invitation to the AGM in October 2021, please email membership@redr.org.uk as soon as possible with your full name, date when you became a member (if known) and preferred email for membership communications.

We look forward to being back in contact at this exciting time!

Jo de Serrano, CEO

Our Members are active all over the world. Here's what some of them are working on at the moment.

• Cheryl McDonald, working with South Sudanese refugees in Uganda.
• Richard Evans, Senior Cluster Coordinator, emergency response for UNHCR in Iraq.

If you have professional experience and would like to become an aid worker, we can provide the training you need to help you adapt your skills for field work during humanitarian emergencies.

If you are a graduate, undergraduate, or looking for a career change but lack the necessary professional experience, then we recommend our popular one-day workshop, entitled So You Think You Want To Be An Aid Worker? Or if you fancy something more in-depth, try our five-day Essentials of Humanitarian Practice. Details of upcoming courses are found here.

If you have three years of professional experience in a role with transferable skills, you can become a RedR Affiliate and access support and guidance to develop your humanitarian career. Applications are currently on hold for the Affiliates Programme.
