I want to share the incredible news that over the last seven months, more and more solidarity funds have been set up for London – in SE15, SE16, in SE24, in Brent, in Newham. Between these six funds, over 24,000 pounds has been distributed. It's ace.

For Christmas, the London Solidarity Funds are all working together. We're aiming to raise 10,000 pounds to keep each fund going into the new year. We can outlast the pandemic, and make something permanent in our community – but we need your help.

Please share, tweet, instagram, call your gran, your dad, your mates. Let's get the word out about our fundraiser. And, if you feel like chipping in, your contributions mean the world to us.

Here's the link so you can spread the word: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/london-solidarity-fundraiser – let's all push to end this year with a stronger community than when we started.

Solidarity, comfort and joy!
