Tom Hardy helps to raise thousands of pounds for victims of London fire

Tom Hardy is doing his part to help those affected by the deadly fire at London’s Grenfell Tower.

The actor put together a fundraising page for the Kensington & Chelsea Foundation to get “support and aid for victims” of the horrific incident.

Tom set up the JustGiving page after researching charities that would specifically help the victims and their families, and in just one day almost £30,000 in donations had been made.

“As a Londoner and as a human being, it is impossible to be unaffected by the harrowing, unnecessary loss of life, injury, sorrow and the continuing desperate and disturbing situation facing those that were residents of Grenfell Tower, Latimer Road West London,” he wrote.

“It is impossible not to feel deep, profound shock and just stand by and not make the effort to help those who are innocent victims of a seemingly gross negligence. It is impossible not to commend the local community for their response of coming together to support those immediately affected by this tragedy at this time, and I am asking you to please help me raise funds to assist those who are suffering and their families.”

Tom said that those who were responsible “for providing secure, safe, housing” for the residents are entirely at fault and he called for them to be held accountable “for gross and criminal negligence”.

“My heart goes out to those who have lost their lives and their loved ones,” he added. “My thoughts are with the innocent families who are suffering – those who have lost their homes and possessions, their friends, families, relatives, children and their lives in a disaster which could have been avoided.”

The Mad Max Fury Road star has been keeping an eye on the page and thanking those who have donated while sharing photos of himself giving fans a thumbs up.

Tom is not the only celebrity to help those in need after the devastating fire, which currently has a death toll of 30 with dozens more injured or missing.

Adele visited the site with her husband Simon Konecki to pay her respects, and Jamie Oliver has offered meals and water to anyone affected at his nearby restaurant.
