Rapid Response
Network
Working with media and corporate partners is central to how the DEC runs appeals and maximises funds raised for people affected by disasters.
The Rapid Response Network is a group of key media and corporate partners who help us launch our emergency appeals at very short notice, getting the message out and making it easy for the UK public to donate quickly and seamlessly. They include the main national broadcasters, banks, technology partners, retail partners and others.
To find out more about how your company can get involved, please contact us at partnerships@dec.org.uk or call us on 02045051695.
If you are contacting us from a school, community group or faith organisation, please email our Supporter Services at support@dec.org.uk.

CASE STUDY: PAYPAL
PayPal raise millions of pounds for our appeals. They amplify DEC appeals by sending an email communication out to all opted-in PayPal customers at appeal launch. At the same time, they improve supporter experience by creating a dedicated fundraising page and using their “Give at Checkout” initiative.
Their launch email raised an incredible £2.9 million for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, before Gift Aid.
CASE STUDY: NATWEST GROUP
NatWest Group has introduced a notification prompting users to donate to DEC Appeals from within its banking apps, with incredible results.
This easy and innovative donation functionality has proved a popular way for customers to support DEC appeals, and raised over £9 million for DEC appeals since its launch in 2020 and winning industry awards.
The Group also spread the word to the general public via social media, encourage staff fundraising, and provide customers with the ability to donate their MyRewards and Coutts Crowns, as well as making a donation directly from the business.
Corporate supporters
The DEC also receives donations from our corporate supporters, whose generous contributions to our appeals are immediately used to fund the vital interventions that disaster-affected communities need.
