Research into the needs of people affected by recent UK riots.

UK Disaster Relief is currently conducting research around the country, in areas which were hit by recent riots. The research is to discover exactly what people affected by the riots need, be it immediate financial aid, help finding accommodation/temporary housing or long term help solutions. 


This research is to help us better understand how we can help after a disaster, and we will also use to research to best direct the funds we raise. 


We are in the process of speaking with people who were affected in any way by the recent UK riots, resulting in them looking to organisations for help. If you are one of these people, or you anyone who is, please contact Kieran Cunningham at info@ukdisasterrelief.org.uk, or tweet us @ukdr_info. You can also call Kieran on 02077949835. The more information we have the better, so we thank you in advance of your support!

£250 grants for retailers affected by the riots from The Retail Trust

The Retail Trust are the only charity in the UK which looks after and supports the three million people working in retail. They offer advice, course funding, financial assistance, redundancy programmes for people who need work and counselling to retailers in times of need. 

They are currently offering grants of £250 to retailers who have been affected by the riots. These grants are available to help retailers with personal losses that they may have incurred, to help ease the financial burden of paying for food shopping for example. As well as these grants, Retail Trust offer a number of long term help solutions to help people deal with ongoing trauma they might be experiencing as a result of the riots.

If you are a retailer who could benefit from this grant, or you know someone else who is, go to to the Retail Trust website for more information on who is eligible and how to apply. There is also information for people who want to volunteer to help victims of the riots, so a great project all round!
