A new fundraising page has been set up to aid the Worksop community impacted when a house exploded on their road over the weekend.
The gofundme page has been created by Sophie Louise to raise cash for families who lost their homes in the blast on John Street.
An introduction on the page by Sophie reads: “In order to help the devastated families that have lost their homes due to the explosion on John Street I have started this fundraiser and hopefully as a community we can all come together to create a fund to help them purchase things that they are going to need in the meantime until their homes are rebuilt or they are able to relocate to a new property.
“This fund will then be given to the council for them to distribute evenly between the families to help them get back on their feet.”
