 THE INDONESIA TSUNAMI APPEAL
A very warm welcome. This guide aims to help you with your
fundraising for the people affected by the Indonesia earthquake
and tsunami. I would like to thank you for your support of the
appeal. Your donations are enabling our member charities to
make a difference. Sadly, each day we learn of new needs and
all this is before aid workers start the huge task of rebuilding
communities, buildings and, most importantly, lives.

We are all part of a global family. When one part is hit by a

devastating event, the rest of the family comes to their aid. We’d
like you to join us on the 18 October to mobilise your family,
friends and community to raise money for the Indonesian
communities that have been torn apart by this catastrophe. There
are some simple ideas for what you can do in this guide. If you
need more support, please contact our team. We’re here to help
you raise the money aid workers need to help save the survivors.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Together we are

a strong force for good at desperate times like this.

Saleh Saeed - CEO, the DEC

P.S. If the 18 October is not going to work for you, or the ideas don’t fit, please
don’t feel constrained. Do whatever you can to raise funds and support the
appeal. THANK YOU!

 HOW WE ARE HELPING
SAVE THE SURVIVORS
From the moment the disaster struck, DEC
members have been providing Indonesian
partners with vital support to scale up rapidly
and save lives.

We’ve delivered essential items such as:

food packages; thousands of litres of clean
water; medicines and hygiene kits; tents
and tarpaulins; emergency vehicles such as
ambulances and water trucks; and generators,
fuel and lighting equipment.

We’ve also set up temporary medical

clinics and public kitchens, helped with the
reunification of separated families, and
created child-friendly spaces where children
can play and recover while their families begin
the process of rebuilding their lives.

Everyone loves cake; some are brilliant bakers. Let’s
all rise to the occasion, share tea and a treat, and
help raise cash for the DEC.
You can host your baking bonanza at work, at
school, at a place of worship or even at the gym!
Simply pick a place to join us on the 18 October, and
ask your baking heroes to step up to the proving
draw. Invite as many of your friends, colleagues and
community as you can and make sure you charge
them heaps for tasty tarts and perky pies.

7 TIPS FOR A BRILLIANT BAKE (SALE)
Offer a prize for the best bake to help incentivise any
1
shy chefs to take up their apron for a great cause.
Ask people to make savoury and sweet bakes which
2
means you could start at coffee time and offer a
slice of the action over lunch too.
Tell the story of the impact of your sale by using our
3
handy briefing sheet (at the end of this guide).
Ask a truly brilliant baker to make an Indonesian
4
cake and introduce it to your hungry helpers.
Set up a Facebook event for your bake and invite
5
Mark Zuckerberg as well as your friends.
Collect cash from the lucky munchers, tally it up
6
and then pay it to the DEC either at a bank or as an
online donation.
If you are hosting a bake at work, why not ask your
7
boss if they will match the amount you raise? Often
they’ll chip in. Sometimes just to spare themselves
having to show off their flaky pastry skills.

 WALK
TO SAVE THE SURVIVORS
9
 DARE TO TAKE TO THE STREETS
Challenge yourself to walk* to work for a week, and
if that is a little too adventurous you could always
just do it on the 18 October. For those with a 20-mile
commute, how about getting off the train a stop
early or parking the car / bike a little further away
from the office? If you have a young family, how
about walking to school that morning?
Whatever you do, get sponsored to do it so you
can make your miles matter. Set up a page on
JustGiving, aim for a target of £100 and let all your
friends know what you are doing. Update them
when you set off on your walk(s), take some snaps
on the way, and share your feelings about the
difference you are making.
You could also arrange a team walk at lunchtime on
the 18 Oct if that works better for your workplace.
Don’t forget to ask if your boss might match your
fundraising.
*Walking not your thing? We’re totally open to any
number of other safe, simple and social challenges.
So feel free to do your own thing - just make it count
for the tsunami survivors.
Share your story and event pics on social using
#savethesurvivors
10
TOP TIPS FOR YOUR JUSTGIVING PAGE
Customise your page: add a photo, explain your
1
challenge, and show why this is important to you.
Set your fundraising target: let people know how
2
much you’re aiming for and what the money will do.
Sponsor yourself! Set the bar for everyone else,
3
show your commitment to your challenge and your
passion for the DEC.
Tell everyone you know: use social, email and
4
messenger apps to share your page link with anyone
and everyone you know! Ask them to support you and
let them know what a donation of just £30 will do.
Thank and update your supporters: post
5
messages of thanks into social and add training or
preparation updates on your fundraising page.
Send reminders: everyone is busy, so don’t forget
6
to politely chase up those who may have said they
would donate but haven’t had time to do it yet. This
is often best done at the very start of the month, not
long after payday.

 GAME
TO SAVE THE SURVIVORS
12
 GET YOUR FORTNITE JUST RIGHT
Switch-up your gaming with some friends and a DEC
challenge to save the survivors. Pick your platform
and set up a marathon (or whatever works for you)
on the 18 October.
Charge fines, set quests, team up and take on a
whole new experience! Whatever you do, you can
find ways to raise money while having fun. The noble
geeks at JustGiving have connected their fundraising
tech into the world of twitch.tv so you can display
your online fundraising page link on a panel.
To find out more about hosting a marathon with
meaning, and help save the survivors, just search for
“JustGiving + Gaming Marathon”.
While we don’t want to sound too much like parents,
we do care! So please skip about and maybe even
check if the sun is up from time to time during your
marathon-ing.

OR FORGO THE CONSOLE FOR A CLASSIC QUIZ
For all the “statos”, music mavens and Goggleboxers
out there, we bring you our BIG quiz which will make
a big difference. Pick a venue, send out invites and
get together with your closest 200 best friends,
family or colleagues to do something great.
We’ll supply the questions, you just need to promote
the event and get those 200 mates along. If you go
to a regular pub or community quiz, why not ask
them to use our questions or put some of the prize
kitty toward the DEC Appeal?
We’d suggest you ask people to bring a prize per
team as well as paying into a prize kitty (which could
all go to the DEC or be split with the winner). Then
set up plenty of fines for cheating, having your
phone out, sneaking off to the toilet, being a smarty-
pants or heckling the guru of questions.
If you are hosting a quiz at work, make sure you
add some fines for extra wonky answers and ask
your boss to match those fines too! Once you have
completed the event, please pay any donations to
the DEC either online or at a bank.

FUNDRAISER’S BRIEF
THE INDONESIA TSUNAMI
What happened
On Friday 28 September, an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale rocked the Indonesian island of
Sulawesi. This triggered a tsunami with waves as high as 18 feet which hit Palu, Donggala and Mamuju at
speeds of 400 miles per hour, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Who’s been affected and how?

• Tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed
• At least 2,000 people have died and more than 5,000 are missing
• A further 10,700 people are seriously injured
• Around 200,000 survivors are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, a quarter of whom are children
• Whole areas were cut off for days and as rescuers struggle to reach outlying communities, authorities fear
that casualties will continue to rise. It is estimated that it could sadly take up to five months to find all of
the dead
• Landslides, debris, a shortage of fuel plus power-outages have hampered emergency relief efforts

What’s needed?
• Food - people have gone for days with very limited, if any, food
• Clean water - drinking water is in very short supply, as water sources have become contaminated and
water pipes have been damaged
• First aid - some hospitals have been destroyed, while those that are still functioning are overwhelmed.
The risk of disease outbreaks is high because water and waste systems are broken
• Shelter - more than 67,000 houses have reportedly been damaged. Many homes sank down into the mud
when the earthquake caused the soil to liquefy. People are staying in makeshift shelters or in the open
due to fear of further damage from aftershocks or more earthquakes
• Trauma-counselling - to help survivors cope with everything that’s happened to them

October is the start of the rainy season which will most likely affect relief efforts, making the need for a swift
response and added shelter all the more urgent.

What have we provided so far?

From the moment disaster struck, DEC members have been providing Indonesian partners with vital support
to scale up rapidly and save lives. Through those partners, we’ve delivered essential items such as: food
packages; thousands of litres of clean water; medicines and hygiene kits; tents and tarpaulins; emergency
vehicles such as ambulances and water trucks; and generators, fuel and lighting equipment. We’ve also
supported the set-up of temporary medical clinics and public kitchens, helped with the reunification of
separated families, and created child-friendly spaces where children can play and recover while their families
begin the process of rebuilding their lives.

Where your money will go

• £10 could provide a survivor with clean water for 2 months
• £90 could provide emergency shelter for 3 families
• £150 could feed 3 families for a month

To find out more about this appeal, please go to dec.org.uk
