On Tuesday 25 November 2025, the Luxembourg Red Cross announced the appointment of Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg as its new President.
The Assembly of the Luxembourg Red Cross has appointed Grand Duchess Stéphanie as the organisation's new President, effective from the date of her appointment by Grand-Ducal decree. She succeeds Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, who served in the role for 20 years.
"We would like to warmly thank Her Royal Highness Grand Duchess Maria Teresa for her 20 years of service to the Luxembourg Red Cross. Her legacy within our organisation is immense. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!" stated Michel Wurth, Vice-President of the Luxembourg Red Cross.
The Luxembourg Red Cross recalled that its mission is "to improve the living conditions of vulnerable people." Its more than 1,000 volunteers and over 3,000 professionals make it a major player in the fields of health, social services, youth, and humanitarian aid.
The organisation is involved in a range of activities, including international emergency humanitarian aid, home care, blood transfusion, rehabilitation, reception of elderly or dependent people in day or integrated centres, social assistance, reception of migrants and refugees, individual assistance to people in difficulty, halfway houses and youth houses, and socio-family therapeutic services.
