Firefighters who tackled the Grenfell Tower blaze will be the first recipients of hundreds of free holidays donated by members of the public. More than 370 offers of holiday stays have been put forward by members of the Grenfell Tower Holiday Appeal group on Facebook in the three weeks since the tragedy, co-organiser Angie Mays said. Other firefighter families have been in touch and are considering taking up some of the offers, she said. But, she said, if any survivors did feel ready now, they should get in touch. Separate Facebook groups have been also set up to provide holidays in Cornwall and the Highlands.
