"REACT is a humanitarian rapid response charity. When there’s an emergency, we give communities the urgent assistance they need to survive and recover.

Our volunteer Response Teams deploy rapidly to emergencies in the UK and internationally, supporting the hardest to reach and most vulnerable people affected by disaster. We prevent communities from being overwhelmed by sudden or unexpected events such as floods, wildfires, terrorist attacks, pandemics, earthquakes, and storms — helping to save lives and alleviate suffering.

REACT volunteers are highly trained, committed humanitarians. Many come from military and emergency services backgrounds. They bring with them years of specialist training and operational experience under the most extreme and challenging conditions, and REACT repurposes these skills to make them world-class humanitarians."
