QPR and Fulham are set to accept donations at their facilities that will help those affected by the Grenfell Tower blaze according to a report from the London Evening Standard.

Earlier today a fire broke out at the residential housing tower in Kensington, West London and it soon took over the entire building, creating some of the most shocking images seen in the last few years as people tried to desperately escape with their lives. The Telegraph has reported that as of 6:21pm on the 14th June that 12 people have died with eighteen people currently in critical care. The police expect the death toll to rise even higher in the coming days.

The blaze has left hundreds of people without a home and any of their belongings with them all being lost in the fire unless they happened to have them on their person. There has been a plea for donations since and two of the biggest clubs in West London are pledging their help.

Both Fulham and QPR, alongside rugby union club Harlequins, will be opening up their facilities as places where people can donate anything they have that may help those who have been affected by the fire. People can go either to QPR’s home stadium of Loftus Road, Fulham’s ground Craven Cottage or their training facility Motspur Park.

An official statement from QPR said: “Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in north Kensington, Loftus Road is taking material donations to aid the relief effort.”

“If you are able to donate clothing, blankets, toiletries, food, you can make your donations at the Main Entrance of the stadium which is located on South Africa Road.”

“Donations can be made until 7pm this evening, and Reception will be open to take further donations from 7am – 7pm on Thursday.”

“The club will be working with Kensington & Chelsea Council to deliver all donations to those who have been affected.”

“For those who have been directly affected by this terrible incident, you are welcome to use our facilities here at the stadium for rest and refreshments.”

The statement from Fulham read: “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.”
