A local mum and her four children have suffered a devastating house fire and lost so much.

I’ve contacted electricians, gas engineers, builders’ merchants and a double-glazing company - and people are stepping forward to help with labour, materials and reduced costs.

This is what community means. When one of us faces a calamity, all of us should come together.

If you can donate, even £5 helps. If you can’t, please share.
