Disasters Emergency Committee Appeal - Myanmar
A DEC appeal was recently announced in April 2025 following the earthquake in Myanmar.
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has devastated huge areas of Myanmar. People urgently need help to survive.
More than 3,000 people have died and hundreds of people are still missing. Many more have no access to the safe shelter, clean water, food and medical care they need to survive.
Countless roads and buildings have been destroyed, including hospitals, schools and water supplies. Network and power lines are down. People are cut off from vital services. Myanmar was already facing a severe humanitarian crisis with a third of the population in need of humanitarian aid. Now the situation is catastrophic.
DEC charities are already on the ground in affected communities and are working hard to access remote areas. They urgently need more funds to scale up their work and reach the most vulnerable.
When the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), which represents 15 leading aid agencies, announces an emergency appeal, Trinity's policy is to hold a retiring collection for two Sundays - enabling us to show we care.
Trinity's appeal has now closed and a total of £1364 has been sent to the DEC appeal, including over £750 given at the Palm Sunday Choral Service.
