The current number being given out throughout the news media (0870 60 60 900) and the website (http://www.dec.org.uk/) are for the Disasters Emergency Committee whose members include Oxfam, Red Cross, Christian Aid, in fact many of the leading charity organisations.

So if you don’t have a particular charity whose efforts you really want to donate to, then this is the place.

Thanks for posting that. I’ve followed your lead and made a similar post at Screen Rant with links to organizations accepting donations.

Please donate if you can with money, and\or you can find your local charity shop may well be running a collection of various basic items in the coming weeks.

I’ve had a quick look, and in no way do I suggest you donate to this charity over any others offering appeals, it’s just that I chose the biggest and most widely known. Choose whatever charity you feel most comfortable with, but do choose one.

Please note that the UK site has created a unique charity for this disaster, whereas the US site has not and the money goes to the general disaster fund.
