Story
At least 22 people have been killed and 59 injured after a terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena.
Manchester Evening News readers have been asking how they can help, so we have started this fund to help support the families in the aftermath of the attack.
The money raised by the Manchester Evening News and its readers will be administered by the British Red Cross, who are offering support to affected families. All of it will go to the families.
We are so grateful for the support so far and can't thank the people of Manchester enough. If you are a company wishing to make a larger donation please email website@men-news.co.uk and we'll be in touch.
