people helped by DEC charities and local partners using funds from the appeal*

Since the launch of the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal in March 2022, the UK public has raised £440 million.

DEC charities and their local partners have used donations to help a total of 8.2 million people* affected so far. 

This appeal is now closed for donations but funds raised will continue to be spent until the end of August 2025 providing food, shelter, cash support, mental health services and other essential aid to people affected by the conflict.

* While efforts have been made to avoid counting people twice, some people may have been helped more than once by different member charities.
