Here’s How To Donate Online To Help People Who Have Lost Their Homes In The Grenfell Tower Fire

    Several crowdfunding pages and an Amazon wish list of emergency supplies have been set up following the devastating fire in west London.

    A number of online appeals have been set up to help support the hundreds of people who will have lost their homes following a huge fire at a block of flats in London.

    Grenfell Tower, in north Kensington, caught fire shortly before 1am on Wednesday morning.

    Hundreds of residents have been evacuated, many still wearing their pyjamas, and are being offered shelter in shops, community centres, places of worship, and people's homes nearby.

    These fundraising pages have also been set up so that wherever you are, you can help send emergency supplies to those holed up at shelters:

    1. Grenfell Tower Fire Fund

    This page was set up by Eartha Pond, a local councillor for nearby Queens Park.

    "It is imperative that we support our neighbours in a time of need," she wrote.

    "It is unquestionable within the community of Queens Park every resident will know someone impacted physically or psychologically.

    "Let's demonstrate our solidarity and show how GREAT Britain can really be!"

    2. Latimer Road Fire Estate Appeal

    This page was set up by a local Muslim group, Annoor Masjid & Annoor Cultural & Community Centre Entire Team & Friends. Funds will go towards emergency food and clothing, as well as paying immediate accommodation costs for those who have lost their homes.

    "We have no idea when we'll need the help of our neighbours," a message on the page reads.

    "Let's be the best of neighbours and help them recover from this terrible tragedy. Dig deep and give whatever you can."

    3. West London Tower Fire Victims

    This page was set up by Shameela Islam-Zulfiqar on behalf of the local Muslim community.

    "This is an emergency fund to help raise money to alleviate the needs of the families affected," Islam-Zulfiqar wrote. "We have friends and family helping in the relief efforts in London who are on the scene and working directly with families affected by the fire.

    "Many Muslim families also lived in the tower block. It is a duty for us as the Muslim community to be at the forefront of helping ALL families affected in their hour of need especially in these last few precious days of Ramadan.

    "Please donate generously."

    4. Grenfell Tower Emergency Relief

    This Amazon wish list was set up to send emergency supplies to the local Rugby Portobello Trust, where many of the evacuees are being offered shelter.

    On it you can buy teabags, toiletries such as soap, toilet roll, and sanitary products, and basic clothing such as T-shirts and socks, and they will be delivered directly to the shelter.

    6. Families of Grenfell Tower

    Local primary school teacher Haley Yearwood set up a fund to help residents in the aftermath of the fire.

    "Others no doubt will have lost family members, friends and colleagues.

    "The money raised will be for those residents of Grenfell Tower affected and will hopefully, even in some small way, help them with whatever they may need in the aftermath."
