What is crowdfunding?

Story
In the early hours of Wednesday 14th June, the residents of Grenfell Tower were awoken to a massive fire which engulfed their home.
In this tight-knit community, many families have lost everything they own, whilst others have lost their lives. Others no doubt will have lost family members, friends and colleagues.
My school's website can confirm that I am an employee there, for anyone with concerns over the authenticity of this page: http://www.kensingtonaldridgeacademy.co.uk/grenfell-tower-justgiving-page/
The money raised will go to the residents of Grenfell Tower and will hopefully, even in some small way, help them with whatever they may need in the aftermath.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. We are continuing to work through everything we need to do to enable the money to be released. I have been working hard with a few excellent organisations who will work with the local community in our aim of short term relief and longer term support. A challenge which we currently face is that all your donations have been made for charitable purposes and we need the support of the Charity Commission before we can start to use them.

I am meeting bereavement and family counselling specialists providing long term support; both parties with whom I'm in discussions with are nationally recognised charities. I hope that this is helpful, and I assure you that once final decisions have been made and processes are in place (which will happen as soon as possible) I will update you all. Thank you again for your donations, patience and kind words.

I am the Y8 Director of Learning at Kensington Aldridge Academy and the local community have been devastated by this awful fire. It is a really close-knit community and the trauma will be felt for years to come. I'd like to help in any way possible.
