DEC Tsunami appeal reaches £200 million

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) today predicted that it will raise £200 million for the Tsunami earthquake appeal, and thanked the public for their unprecedented generosity.

DEC Chairman, David Glencross, spoke on behalf of the Trustees: “We asked the British public to respond urgently and generously, and they have done so magnificently. They have made an unprecedented contribution, which will make a real difference to the lives and livelihoods of people affected by this disaster over the years to come.”

The size of the response has meant that the DEC can now wind down its appeal, although it is expecting planned fundraising events to continue. Money due to be raised from them is built into spending plans.

He reported that, to date, there have been 1.7 million telephone donations, 650,000 online donations, 106,000 text donations and 350,000 postal donations.
