The Daily Mail’s owner, Daily Mail and General Trust, is donating £100,000 to a charity supporting victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster.
The Daily Mail reports that The Kensington & Chelsea Foundation has been chosen by DMGT chairman Lord Rothermere and chief executive Paul Zwillenberg as its “local charity partner” to receive the donation.
DMGT has also promised to support employees “who wish to help at relief centres,” in addition to matching their donations “up to a total of £50,000”.
The Daily Mail’s Kensington offices are located two miles from the Grenfell Tower, in the same London borough (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea).
