History
The Trinidad and Tobago Red Cross Society was founded in 1939 as a branch of the British Red Cross. After the country gained independence from Britain in 1962, it became a recognised independent national society in 1963.
The Junior Red Cross, a section of the British Red Cross which recruited young volunteers, was officially formed in 1924. Its main objectives were the protection of life and health, services to the sick and suffering, and international friendship and understanding.
Today, young people continue to work with the British Red Cross through youth engagement and education programmes.
