Donations for the Grenfell Tower Fire Post Reply

Hello everyone,

I thought I'd organise donations for the people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. If you want to help let me know.

Cheers,
Gal.

How will the donations be distributed?

[galpod]

There are several places that have been set up, including the local Rugby Club and St Clements Church. We'll take the donations there and they will distribute to people who need them.

What sort of things are they asking for people to donate?

[galpod]

Right now they are saying to hold off, as they are figuring out what they need. I'll update here as soon as I have more information.

It's lovely that people want to help but I think it's very unlikely that they need further clothing donations. There's mountains of stuff at various collection centres now

That's true. There are several places online where you can donate money, which is what they probably need most.

Here's one that's been set up by the local organisations (including the Rugby Portobello Club, that has organised a lot of the activities): https://thekandcfoundation.com/donate/

Donations of clothes/shoes/toys are now being turned away from centres as they have nowhere to store them.

So if anybody wants to help then a cash donation is the best option

The Big Give are matching donations to the Kingston and Chelsea Foundation, so if you donate might as well donate through them:

You can email Grenfellvolunteers@rbkc.gov.uk to register as a volunteer. I'm currently waiting to hear back. All of the centres I've checked today are not accepting any more goods just now. Money still needed of course.
