Almost £2,000 is raised for children living in a hotel at the centre of weekend violence.
Children living in a hotel housing asylum seekers are to be given sweets and toys after an outpouring of community support.Almost £2,000 was raised in a matter of hours after the incident, which saw counter-protesters form a barricade to stop people getting in.
"If any other kid in Bristol had their house stormed, or try to be stormed, by a mob then the community would gather around them and try to look after them, and so that's what we should be trying to do here as well." "If it hadn't been for the counter-protesters then what happened in Rotherham could have happened here.", with rioters smashing windows to break into the hotel and setting a bin on fire before pushing it through a broken door.
"I was really really impressed by how quickly people put their hands in their pockets for these kids," added Mr Hollinshead.The volunteers purchased the treats on Monday evening
