The German Red Cross is conducting various regional initiatives across Germany to support its humanitarian and social services.

In the Hannover region, the organization is organizing a benefit concert titled “Together doing good – with music that moves” at the NDR Great Broadcast Hall. Scheduled for October 8, the event features the Lower Saxony Police Orchestra and the SBR Bigband to raise funds for the Red Cross Children and Youth Foundation, specifically targeting childhood education and social inclusion.

In other regions, the organization is focusing on membership and personnel. In Nürnberger Land, a summer campaign involving student teams is underway to fund volunteer work in water rescue, mountain rescue, and disaster protection. Meanwhile, in the Ostallgäu district, a ceremony was held in Marktoberdorf to honor 22 long-term employees for their service across nursing, rescue, and administrative sectors.
