SIR: I am writing to ask your readers to join me in supporting Red Cross Week this year (May 3-9).

Every year, hundreds of people give up either a few hours, or a few days of their week, to collect for vulnerable people throughout the world. But the British Red Cross always needs more help. Whether you do a sponsored abseil, organise a picnic in the local park, or just remember to donate when you walk past a collector, this is your chance to make a difference to someone who really needs it: both here in the UK and overseas.

Help the British Red Cross to care for people in crisis.
