AN appeal fund has been set up for people who were affected by the horror accident in George Square.

 

The city council is donating £20,000 and anyone wishing to contribute to the Lord Provost's Queen Street fund can do so from today.

The quickest and simplest way to donate is by calling 0141 287 7878 and paying by debit or credit card.

Lines will be open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm but will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, reopening on December 27and closing again on January 1 and 2.

Donations to the fund can also be made at any bank using sort code 834400 and account number 10809775.

Anyone in need of support can call the city council's dedicated helpline 0141 287 0999.

Lord Provost Sadie Docherty said: "We have had tremendous offers of support already. Glaswegians started calling us to offer donations almost as soon as this tragic incident happened.

"That's heart-warming but not surprising in a city which responds so well to tragedy."
