Ready Together
About us
We are here for survivors of emergencies in the UK. We respond when emergencies hit, run projects with survivors, and work with partners across the country.
What we do
Who we are and what we do
We raise money and get it to survivors of UK emergencies, fast. Survivors and sector experts set us up in 2019 to bring a faster, more coordinated national response.
Our story
After the emergencies of 2017, survivors and sector experts saw the UK needed a faster, more coordinated way to respond. The National Emergencies Trust was set up in 2019.
National emergency appeals
When a national emergency hits, we launch an appeal and get the money to survivors fast. Your donation reaches the people affected when they need it most.
Local emergencies
Not every emergency needs a national appeal. We work with local partners to support survivors when one hits their area.
Survivor projects
We work with survivors on the problems they faced after an emergency. They lead the projects and help bring about change.
Building a more resilient UK
We bring survivor insight and training to government and first responders, so the UK is better prepared for the next emergency.
