THE fund set up in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing has a final date for people to apply for funding.

The We Love Manchester Emergency Fund raised more than £21 million for the bereaved and the physically and psychologically injured.

£20.7 million of this has already been allocated.

The fund's trustees want to distribute the remaining money but need to make sure everyone eligible has had chance to claim.

Cllr Sue Murphy, chair of the trustees, said: "We want to ensure that people who were affected, and who meet the criteria for support, have a last chance to apply before we close applications and assess how remaining funds are best distributed."

Criteria for eligibility can be found at manchesteremergencyfund.com/about. To apply email emergency.fund@manchester.gov.uk.
