DEC

Like all of you, we have spent the last few weeks watching the events unfold in Ukraine in a state of distress and great concern.

In response to this, we have made an initial donation to the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) to support its vital work providing food, water, shelter, and medical assistance to those fleeing Ukraine.

We will also be matching any member cashback donations (up to the value of £10,000) to the DEC via our charity donation scheme.

How to payout and donate your cashback to the DEC

Donate to the DEC via TopCashback by adding a “Charity Donation” when requesting your payable cashback and selecting “Disasters Emergency Committee (International Aid)” which is currently towards the top of the list.

Charity donations can be added through any of our payout options, so you can continue to request your remaining cashback however best suits you. In order to donate you are still required to withdraw some of your cashback for yourself, although the minimum amount is only a penny.

We will then automatically match your donation to the DEC.

Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, and everyone affected by this terrible war.

Information on the DEC and Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal

The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently at times of crisis overseas.

DEC charities are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people.

At least 3 million people have fled their homes to escape conflict in Ukraine. Leaving behind jobs, belongings and loved ones, they now face an uncertain future.

£30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month

£50 could provide blankets for four families

£100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month

If you are interested, we have posted an update here on how this fundraising is going.
