People have raised thousands of pounds to help the families who lost their homes and belongings in the devastating Scoffs fire at Paignton.
Paignton Chamber of Commerce has revealed the total raised has reached £4,500 following the fire more than three weeks ago in Torbay Road.
Donations have come in from supporters including Paignton Lions, Paignton Rotary Club, Paignton Festival, the local Co-op, and customers from Austins News, Costcutters and Susan’s Flowers.
The Chamber said it was working with the council, Centre Peace community centre, The Haven drop-in centre and other groups to get support to the people affected.
