Irish Red Cross Mission Statement.
The mission statement of the Irish Red Cross, as approved by Central Council in 2001 is:
''To fulfil the objects of the Society as prescribed by the statutes and to be Ireland’s premier community service organization, through the implementation of the Red Cross Charter, preventing and alleviating human suffering, protecting life and health, ensuring respect for the human being by continually delivering a high quality humanitarian service to society at home and abroad. The Irish Red Cross provides care to the most vulnerable at home and abroad in peace, crisis and disaster."
The Irish Red Cross is currently undergoing changes to its governance structure to bring it in line with modern practice. All change will be subject of the agreement of the Government of Ireland and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
