A fundraising campaign set up for those affected by the Liverpool FC parade incident has raised more than £30,000, including a £10,000 donation from ex-player Jamie Carragher’s charity foundation.
Money raised by Liverpool Spirit Appeal will be distributed to those experiencing physical or psychological injuries after a car struck fans at the parade on Monday, as well as to community groups, organisers said.
The fund has been launched by the Community Foundation for Merseyside, in partnership with the council and voluntary services.
Rae Brooke from the Community Foundation said people wanted “to do something” to help, adding: “Jamie is just amazing, he is always the first to step up.”
