Donations
If you would like to support those affected by the crisis in the Ukraine, we don't recommend that you collect goods for transportation but that you donate to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal. The UK Government will match donations from the public pound-for-pound, starting with £20 million, meaning your support will go even further.
The money donated will benefit DEC charities and their local partners including the Ukrainian Red Cross who are providing food, water, shelter, and medical assistance to people who are sheltering from the war.
Your financial donations can help experienced organisations to respond quickly and effectively to unpredictable emergency situations and to meet individual needs of displaced people directly through their international networks.
The Charity Commission and Fundraising Regulator have urged the public to ‘give safely’ to registered charities helping and supporting those affected by the invasion of Ukraine.
