Opération Chaise rouge

People with disabilities who wish to benefit from the assistance service from Chaise Rouge throughout the evening can contact the Red Cross in Vaud, which will put them in touch with a volunteer, subject to availability.
Contact the Red Cross in Vaud on: 021 340 00 99 or benevolat@croixrougevaudoise.ch
This service is free and available only by registering at least two weeks before the evening in question.
