The fund, called the Shoreham Air Show Fund, set up in conjunction with Adur District Council, Brighton & Hove City Council, West Sussex County Council and Worthing Borough Council, was started following a number of donations being received since the tragedy. As of today the total reached is more than £15,000.
Louise Goldsmith, Leader of West Sussex County Council, said; “This tragedy has affected so many people and one of the ways in which people have been showing they care is by making donations. In response to the many requests, this fund has been set up so there is a central place for those donations. If anyone wishes to make a donation, then please do so. The money will go to the people and communities affected by the Shoreham air show incident.”
Kevin Richmond, Chief Executive of Sussex Community Foundation, added; “We’re honoured to be able to help in this way and will be consulting with local people to ensure that the money so generously given is used in the best possible way to help those who have been most touched by this tragedy.”
