The Singapore Red Cross (SRC) was proud to be part of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games.

Under the Culture & Education Programme, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) represented at the Youth Olympic Village which housed over 5,000 athletes and team officials. SRC volunteers and staff were on hand to promote our humanitarian principles and values, and for first aid demonstrations from 13 to 26 August 2010.

More than 200 SRC volunteers, partners and staff provided spectator first aid coverage islandwide. Forming an integral part of the SYOG workforce, the SRC team comprised members of the Adult Volunteer Division, Red Cross Humanitarian Network and Red Cross Youth and Nee Ann Poly School of Health Sciences that devoted over 4,000 manhours towards first aid coverage at 20 out of 31 events held.
