How Your Money Is Spent
What the Money Is Spent On
The money collected is distributed to DEC Member Agencies to supply emergency relief. Your money is spent on emergency supplies such as food, water and medical help. The members also work to provide longer-term help working with people affected by disaster to rebuild their lives and livelihoods, so they are able to support themselves and their families long term.
Accountability
The Disasters Emergency Committee is legally accountable for using your money responsibly. We monitor and review the way that our members spend the money raised and publish the results on our website so they are available for the public to see.
Administration Costs
95p in each pound is allocated to Member Agencies for emergency relief programmes; the DEC is a small organisation and receives major support so it can keep administration costs extremely low, and these are not more than 5p in the pound
