As more and more names are released in the wake of the Manchester bombing, people are coming forward to help in whatever way they can.
Whether it's blood donations, providing free board and shelter, driving people home or raising money - as in this case - it all helps. Earlier this morning, Tom Hardy announced that he was helping to raise much-needed funds for the British Red Cross to help with those affected by the attack.
On the fundraising page, Hardy's statement read as follows: "What happened last night at the AG concert in Manchester was a tragedy; families and children attacked and murdered; in a place where they should be safe and enjoying a concert. it is an inconceivable atrocity. There is no bringing back those who have been lost, pointlessly, in such a cowardly and brutal fashion. I am truly saddened by what I have witnessed and there is no doubt that Terrorism is an evil thing."
"I hope between us we can raise some funds as a gesture of goodwill and love to help in some small way towards repairing some if any of the damage done in the wake of last nights events. There will be much to do and for many the beginning of a new life without those that they love and also a new life damaged irrevocably by the actions of a crime which has no reason, no heartfelt purpose but was simply a cruel cowardly and barbaric, meaningless act of violence. A road to recovery unimaginable."
"Terrorism is abhorrent, the killing of innocent families and children unacceptable. And it is with those, the innocent victims and the witnesses of this atrocity that my heartfelt concern and deepest sympathy lies. Please help however you can."
As of writing, £7,973.28 has been raised with a target set for £15,000. You can donate to his fundraising efforts here.
