Thank you, London. Our Winter Survival Appeal has surpassed £2.4 million, following a final week surge in donations from our partners and readers. And the money is already making a difference, with £1.25 million distributed to charities helping some of the most vulnerable people in London and across the country.
We are hugely grateful to our high value donors, Julia and Hans Rausing, Sainsbury’s, Comic Relief, Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund, Burberry, Jingle Jam and TK Maxx and Homesense. But also to the 3,500 ordinary Londoners who gave away £200,000 to help their fellow citizens.
