The DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) brings together 15 member charities to coordinate fast and effective aid overseas, in response to large-scale disasters.
Pooling resources to work as one, DEC are pivotal in co-ordinating the UK public’s response to overseas disasters. In collaboration with a Rapid Response Network of national media and corporate partners, the DEC raise the alarm to the UK public by launching high-profile appeals and setting up easy ways to donate.
Donations will go towards the DEC Emergency Fund, which facilitates a quick and effective response when a crisis hits. The fund will support the DEC’s next appeal, whether it’s a natural disaster, disease outbreak or a crisis fuelled by drought or conflict.
Having funds in reserve allows the DEC to get more money where it is needed as quickly as possible to save, protect and rebuild lives by working with the communities affected.
