The Cyprus Red Cross Society has worked for almost 50 years to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Neutral and independent, its membership is open to all persons regardless of race, creed or political conviction. The Cyprus Red Cross offers its humanitarian services in many fields, without asking questions, and reaching out to where state and other services cannot reach. All the Society's efforts are motivated by the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. During the Independence struggle of 1955-1959, Penelope Tremayne, who k new Greek well, came to Cyprus in 1957 to organised the first Cypriot Branch of the International Red Cross. She remained on the island for one year.
