The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has launched a Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to raise funds for food, water, medicine, protection and trauma care for people fleeing the war. The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities (including the British Red Cross, Cafod, Care International and Save the Children UK). Every pound donated by the UK public to the DEC will be matched by the government. You can donate at a Post Office as well as directly.
