The Evening Standard’s Dispossessed fund has now raised £4.5 million “for London’s
most vulnerable”. Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the the achievement as “
fantastic news”.

More than £1.7 million has been donated by Evening Standard readers together with
some of London’s biggest firms. This has been matched by the government, which has
also made available a further £1 million from their Grassroots project.

The fund will distributed £1 million to some of the capital’s charities “within 
weeks”. The remaining funds will then be used to create a permanent fund to help
London’s dispossessed.
