Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC)
The Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) is a coalition of UK charities that come together to respond to major humanitarian crises around the world. When disasters like earthquakes, floods, or conflicts occur, the DEC coordinates fundraising and relief efforts, ensuring that aid reaches the affected people efficiently. By pooling resources and expertise, DEC members provide essential support such as food, shelter, and medical care, helping communities recover. Established in 1963, the DEC enables the public to donate through a single platform, maximizing the impact of their contributions during urgent times of need.
