Donations Should Now Be Sent to Westway Sports Centre
After collections at Football clubs, faith and community centres
Donations to support of clothing, food, toiletries and other essentials to support evacuees from the devastating Grenfell Tower fire are being diverted to the Westway Sports and Fitness Centre, 1 Crowthorne Road, W10.
The amazing response to the tragedy has meant that the previous three centres have been inundated and can longer accept donations.
Members of the public however can take donations to locations across the area, including our top football clubs, faith and community centres, where they will then be forwarded to the people in need.
Fulham Football Club has released a statement saying: "Everyone at Fulham was troubled by the news of the fire at Grenfell Tower this morning in West London.
"In an attempt to help those affected, Craven Cottage will be open to accept donations from supporters, staff and local residents to provide the victims with much needed items.
"If you can spare any clothing, toiletries, children’s toys, or baby items, please bring them down to Craven Cottage Main Reception, located midway along the Johnny Haynes Stand on Stevenage Road, which will be open until 7pm.
"Alternatively, if you live closer to Motspur Park, we will be accepting items at our Training Ground Reception.
"These items will then be taken to the drop off point tonight at Clements Church, 95 Sirdar Road."
In Shepherd's Bush, QPR has tweeted: "We're devastated to see the terrible #GrenfellTower fire in west London.#QPR's thoughts are with everyone affected."
The club has added Loftus Road to the list of collection points and says if people wish to donate clothing / blankets / toiletries food they can do so at the main entrance of the football ground on South Africa Road.
