Firefighters at work

An online donation page has been set up to help people affected by the fire in Finkle Street over the weekend.

The GoFundMe page was set up by Monica Smallman who says:

Many people and businesses have been affected by the terrible Richmond fire that was started in the early hours of the 6th June 2015. Livlihoods of business owners, suppliers, workers and small businesses associated with those involved in the fire have lost vital income. The rebuild of the properties and businesses will take many months to be re-established. In the meantime, businesses will sustain huge loss of earnings. We are setting up this page to show our support or the local businesses and show solidarity as a community. Please donate as little or as much as you can. We are eternally grateful for your generosity.

* Please note, we have requested some more information about this appeal and will update this page with more detail when we hear back.
