DEC coordinates and launches collective appeals to raise funds to provide emergency aid and rapid relief in the event of disasters and humanitarian crises.

When nearly 14 million people fled their homes to escape conflict in Ukraine in March 2022, the Foundation made its first donation to DEC.

Compass Group colleagues also raised money for other charities including UNICEF, ACNUR and World Central Kitchen; as well as volunteering and donating food for refugee support initiatives in different countries.​
