The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a coalition of major UK charities that unite during large-scale emergencies, such as natural disasters or conflicts. They coordinate fundraising efforts to efficiently gather donations, which are then distributed to local aid organizations on the ground. The DEC ensures quick, organized support for affected communities, providing essentials like food, water, medical care, and shelter. Their collaboration helps maximize resources, reduce duplication, and deliver effective relief swiftly during crises.
