The response of the British public has been one of overwhelming generosity. In order to harness that response, the Government has established a webpage on gov.uk containing useful information on where to find further advice to frequently asked questions. The webpage has generated significant traffic in the last week, and aims to direct the public towards the most relevant information or bodies through which they can help, such as the Local Government Association website, or the websites of relevant charities and Non Governmental Associations. We are working closely with key partners to ensure that the offers received are captured by the appropriate organisation or body.
