Founded on August 1st, 1950, as a branch of the British Red Cross Society, the Bermuda Red Cross has evolved from a modest Nursing Reserve into a cornerstone of humanitarian aid for the island. For over 75 years, we have remained dedicated to our mission: to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found, protecting life and health and ensuring respect for the human being.
Operating from our headquarters at "Charleswood" in Paget, we serve as a vital auxiliary to Bermuda’s public authorities. Whether we are managing the island's historical blood donor recruitment, providing essential medical equipment, or offering world-class First Aid and CPR training, our focus is always on the most vulnerable. As a member of the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) sub-committee, we stand ready to provide disaster relief, psychosocial support, and emergency supplies whenever our community—or the world—needs us most.
10 Core Pillars of Our Service
We are located at our headquarters, "Charleswood," 11 Berry Hill Road, Paget. Our business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
You complete the theory portion online at your own pace and attend a shorter (3-hour) in-person skills session.

PSFA is a specialized service focused on recognizing and responding to crisis-related stress. It is not physical first aid; rather, it provides emotional comfort and safety to individuals affected by trauma or disaster, allowing frontline responders to focus on their primary tasks.
We work closely with the government to provide support at the Cedarbridge shelter, where we offer Psychosocial First Aid, relief supplies, and clothing for the unsheltered population.
