  • supporting communities & people impacted by the Southport attack and the far-right riots in the UK

    here is a list of community fundraisers I found, starting with those aiming to support the Southport community after the appalling attack at a children dance party, to the fundraisers helping those affected by the subsequent racist and Islamophobic far-right/nazi riots

    Southport:

    • Southport Strong Together Appeal - organised by the community foundation for Merseyside, for those affected by the Southport knife attack
    • United for Southport families - the funds will be distributed among the nine families of the children who were at the party
    • Swifties for Southport - a fundraiser for the Alder Hey Children's charity, which supports the victims and the affected families, as well as first responders and clinicians. Extra funds will also support the wider Southport community
    • Fundraiser for the Southport Mosque - a fundraiser to aid rebuilding or possibly re-locating the Southport Mosque after the damages it suffered during the riots
    • Rebuilding Windsor Mini Mart - fundraiser to rebuild the locally-owned grocery store that was targeted during the attacks, broken into, and looted

    Liverpool:

    • Fundraiser for the Spellow Hub - the Spellow Hub was broken into, looted and set on fire at night during the riots. The Spellow Hub is a newly created one-of-a-kind (in the UK) institution, which consists of a library as well as a community centre with a mission to help people get education and pathways to work
    • Books for Spellow Lane - another fundraiser for the library in the Spellow Hub, to replace the books and rebuild the library there

    Hartepool:

    • Fundraiser for the Nasir Mosque - the Nasir Mosque was attacked following Southport riots; this fundraiser is organised by Hartepool citizens to help the mosque deal with the damages as well as to show appreciation for the role of the mosque in the community
    • Rebuilding the Farm Shop - the shop was targeted during the riots, and when the owner and his son tried to protect it, they were also violently attacked. The fundraiser is to help fix the damages to the store.

    Sunderland:

    Hull:

    Belfast:

    If you want to donate locally but there is no fundraiser to support where you live, consider donating to your local charities oriented towards Muslim or Arab communities, or towards refugee organizations! And go support your local Muslim/Arab/Refugee owned businesses!

    If you have any information about other local fundraisers, feel free to add to the post or don't hesitate to let me know and I will add them here! We have seen so much hate in the past few days, we have to stay strong and keep supporting each other!

    Stay safe everyone 💛
