Donations to Grenfell Tower residents

[FerrisWheel]

This is just a suggestion for those of us in the EDF community ...

Anyone on here with something to sell or give away over the coming weeks and months could consider donating it to the Grenfell Tower residents, who will no doubt need basics such as clothes, baby/childrens paraphernalia, bedding and beds, tables, chairs etc.

I know some people sell stuff here and need the money. I'm not suggesting those people shouldn't do that. I'm just suggesting that if there's anyone that could spare anything and were thinking of passing it on via the Forum, they could direct it to West London instead.

With peace and love from a sad Londoner tonight.

Such a good idea 🙋

Great!

I've donated a bit yesterday but it's so heartbreaking. So many lost so much in such little time.

I'm going to be going down there today to give a helping hand.

[Hoak]

I also think that's a great idea and I do have things to donate but how and where do we donate large items? Any ideas?

I think Westway sports centre in West London taking in donations

Our company has been told that they have been inundated with donations and have to sort through and see what they need. I have attached the image of the tweet we received. The email address is Royal Borough of Kensinton and Chelsea

Basically - don't take anymore things, but email what you have and if they need it they can contact you.

There is an appeal being run by the ?Kensington and Chelsea Foundation? for anyone who'd like to make cash donations to support those affected. Link below:

There are also numerous justgiving pages, one is here (Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund)

I have created a just giving page yesterday & would like to split the donation between 2 charities "Family Action & The Kensington & Chelsea Foundation" This mean it can help the affected not just for short term but for the long term as well.

arnt the people that survived the grenfall fire millonairs now living in penthouse suites?

[FerrisWheel]

Of course they're not.

[Still Rolling]

well there well off better than most of us and have nice brand new homes and liveing in millon pound homes,and wasnt most of them subletting?

[FerrisWheel]

Yeah, I think being rehoused has really made up for the trauma, loss and death they all experienced.

[Still Rolling]

Really Sue?

Is it even worth entertaining? 😎

Great idea. I'm just about to put some stuff on offer and was going to suggest a donation to the Peckham Food Bank. I might give takers a choice.
