We are committed to ending extreme poverty, whatever it takes. We work together with people living in the most difficult situations, to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

Each year we produce a trustees report along with our accounts to report back on our progress against our strategic goals.

Trustees ensure that the DEC remains true to its charitable purpose and objectives and complies with charity law. They are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statement.

The DEC has a small team who carry out the day-to-day running of the organisation. When we launch an appeal, staff seconded from member charities, freelancers and creative agencies form a larger pop-up team.
