Press enquires and latest updates on the Disasters Emergency Committee and our appeals.

DEC appeal responses are delivered through staff working in some of the most challenging humanitarian contexts in the world. Many face extremely difficult living conditions and often personal risks as they deliver lifesaving aid to communities in need. 

Discuss making a grant or major gift to the DEC, to fund flexible disaster response.

This appeal is now closed. Thanks to generous donations from the public more that £19 million was raised for people affected by the crisis.
