Today we launch a Together With Manchester appeal - to raise money for families of the victims of the Arena bomb.

News UK, publisher of The Sun, has made a corporate donation of £100,000 to the appeal.

So far 22 people have died and 59 injured after a suicide nail bombing at Ariana Grande’s gig in Manchester Arena last night.

One of the dead has been named as eight year old superfan Saffie Rose Roussos.

The Sun’s appeal will raise money for families of the victims to help them rebuild their lives - and to make a stand against terror.

All money raised will be handed over to the British Red Cross Society and the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund which will provide funds quickly and immediately to the families of victims of the attack.

The fund is being run by the Lord Mayor of Manchester’s charity, We Love Manchester and the British Red Cross.

In the immediate aftermath of the bomb last night – the worst terror attack in the UK since 7/7 – the people of Manchester showed incredible kindness and resilience.

Locals opened their homes to confused people who fled the Manchester Arena in panic and were left stranded. Taxi drivers offered free lifts. Hundreds of people donated blood. People rushed to assist the injured.

It showed the true spirit of Manchester.

This appeal will build on that spirit of unity.
