It was established officially on 12 July 1950 as a branch of the British Red Cross Society in Hong Kong. Since 1 July 1997, upon the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty to the People's Republic of China, the Hong Kong Red Cross has changed its affiliation to become a special branch of the Red Cross Society of China, but remains autonomous from it. Unlike other Red Cross and Red Crescent societies worldwide, which are notable for their humanitarian effort, Hong Kong Red Cross is better known for blood transfusion in Hong Kong. This may be due to a few disasters threatening and political turmoils in the territory, also its long history of service from 1952. The blood transfusion service runs under the Hospital Authority.[12] In lack of need in relief services in the territory, the society runs a range of humanitarian services to care for the underprivileged, such as schooling for children in hospitals, organising voluntary services in the ageing communities, organising uniform groups for youths and adults, and conducting first aid courses. In the case of disasters in neighbouring regions, the society raises funding and sends relief forces. In occasional floods in eastern China, earthquakes in China, Indian Ocean tsunami, the staff and volunteers from the Hong Kong Red Cross attended. In the early height of incoming Vietnamese refugees, the society also set up services for them in the 1980s. History{{Prose|date=September 2009}}

VolunteersThe society is largely managed by volunteers with some paid staff. For its development, the society organises both uniformed and non-uniformed units for volunteers of all ages. By age, the uniform groups are divided into:
Youth UnitsRed Cross Youth Units, or RCY (formerly known as Cadet Units until 1997), as members of the International Red Cross Movement, aim at protecting life and health, serving the community and putting the spirit of Humanity in Action. These uniformed units are attached to secondary schools, youth centres and Hong Kong Red Cross Divisional Headquarters, and members are usually aged from 12 to 17. The youth uniform units are notable in Hong Kong because of its widespread in secondary schools in the territory. The uniform units are educated with the spirit of Red Cross and the skills of first aid, drilling and others. Divisional HeadquartersThere are five Red Cross Divisional Headquarters located in different geographical position in Hong Kong. Two of them are located in New Territories, two of them in Kowloon and the rest in Hong Kong Island. Head Office enacts a coordinator between all divisional headquarters. Lists of Youth UnitsEach headquarters hold a fraction of Youth Units. These lists are available in the intranet system of each headquarters. ActivitiesThe major events include:
Adult Volunteer GroupsNon-uniform units are named Adult Volunteer Groups. They are for members who commit less intensively, as they normally work regular day jobs as well. See also
