Autumn fair Innsbruck: Red Cross shows variety of assistance

The autumn fair Innsbruck offers a platform to get to know the significant work of the Red Cross Innsbruck (RKI) better. At the stands in Hall A and in the west outdoor area, the employees present their versatile services not only with information, but also with practical demonstrations. Interested visitors can gain a deep insight into the important role of the RKI.

"We show what we do for the population at the autumn fair. Everyone is invited to find out more about all of our service areas at our stand," explains Alexandra Tanda, the managing directors of the Red Cross Innsbruck. The RKI is an important humanitarian organization, the services of which range from the emergency services to disaster relief to home emergency calls and social accompaniment. The stand is not only a source of information, but also offers the opportunity to get to know empathetic therapy dogs and to acquire clothing from the "Henry & Leila" second-hand shop.

There are numerous activities at the RKI stand that the trade fair visitor can try out. Daily training on defibrillators not only ensure security, but also the opportunity to take part in an exciting competition. In addition, the RKI recruiters have the task of informing new interested parties about voluntary work and opportunities for participation. They are happy to achieve a piece of motivation through the fair when recruiting helpful and empathetic people.

A modern ambulance and a large accident vehicle with a field kitchen can also be visited. These visual impressions should underline the importance of employees in action. "Health and security are always in the foreground. Our cooperation with other organizations such as the fire brigade and the police is essential," continued Tanda.

The commitment of the RKI at the autumn fair is an important step to inform society about its valuable services and at the same time gain new helpers. In view of the large number of offers in the region, the fair will be an excellent opportunity for exchange and learning about communication in an emergency and general first aid.
