Preparedness saves lives. That’s why the Red Cross conducts First Aid Training Programs across Kerala for schools, colleges, workplaces, and community groups.

These sessions cover:
CPR and basic life support
Wound and fracture management
Handling burns, poisonings, and more
By equipping people with practical skills, the Red Cross promotes a safer, more responsive society ready to act during emergencies.

The Junior Red Cross is the student movement of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Serving in a voluntary capacity, Juniors can make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people within their local communities through the Red Cross programme. The Junior Red Cross is the student's wing of the Red Cross. It is a group movement organised within schools, to engage children and adolescents in volunteer activities. children and adolescents also represent a substantial part of the membership of the Red Cross for its humanitarian commitment. Their objective is to prepare a balanced, disciplined, service-motivated, dedicated and sincere responsible citizen in the emerging society which is much needed in recent times.

The Indian Red Cross Society has been active in the arena of blood services for the past three decades. It has more than 100 blood banks all over the country under different states and district branches. IRCS is a pioneer in the field of blood services in Kerala, wherein it has been conducting motivational campaigns to organise Voluntary Blood Donation Camps at both state and district levels with the assistance of social, religious, political, commercial and military organisations. One of the most common activities that all national societies perform is first aid training and providing first aid cover. Blood donations are conducted by organising blood donation camps and it has led to reducing the gap between the demand and supply of blood.

Many people come forward to donate blood voluntarily for storage in the blood banks and use it for those who are in dire need. It is the perfect way to cater to the demand for blood. That tradition goes on. We organise blood donation camps with the Govt. blood banks. The majority of this blood is used to help out the underprivileged. Kerala Red Cross Blood Programme has thus come to be rightfully acknowledged as India's Pioneer & Leader of the Voluntary Blood Donation Movement. All the Red Cross Branches have been proactively doing sincere efforts to promote voluntary blood donation in their respective areas. Red Cross Branches have been organising voluntary blood donation camps and supporting local Govt. or other Trust-run blood banks. Every Keralite feels proud to know that we have more than 200 "Centurion Blood Donors" who completed a hundred times donations.

The Red Cross has been continuously working to ensure that safe blood and blood products are available for all those in need, especially in emergency obstetric centres, trauma centres, surgical units, etc.

With a rising elderly population and growing healthcare needs, the Red Cross's Home Nurse Service has emerged as a lifeline for many families in Kerala. Professionally trained nurses provide in-home medical support for the elderly, chronically ill, and post-operative patients.

This affordable and reliable service ensures:

Personalized care in the comfort of one’s home
Assistance with daily living activities
Emotional support and companionship
Beyond meeting healthcare needs, this initiative also creates employment opportunities in the healthcare sector.

Free medical check-ups and geriatric care
Recreational and wellness activities
Regular visits by volunteers to offer emotional support

These efforts ensure dignity and well-being for the elderly, making a meaningful impact on some of the most vulnerable members of society.
