A MUSLIM humanitarian aid charity in Greater Manchester has raised more than £27,000 in a week for the victims of the attacks in Manchester.
Through online fundraising, working with partners and fundraising around train stations and mosques, Human Appeal has raised £27,617 (with Gift Aid) with their Muslims for Manchester appeal.
Chief executive Othman Moqbel said: "We are determined to raise even more.
"I hope that people see Muslims for Manchester for what it is - the Muslim community of Manchester and throughout the UK standing in unity and solidarity with the victims, their families and this great city, in defiance of this evil person who tried to divide us."
