On 1 July 2026 the Charity Commission for England and Wales and the Fundraising Regulator urged the public to support registered charities responding to the earthquakes that struck Venezuela on 25 June 2026. The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) launched its Venezuela Earthquake Appeal, bringing together 15 UK aid charities to raise funds quickly for relief. The charities are providing food, water, shelter and healthcare to those affected. Both regulators highlighted that donations made through registered charities are regulated and accountable under charity law. They provided simple steps for safe giving, including checking the Fundraising Badge, the Charity Register, and verifying a charity’s registration before donating.
