Students launch fundraising campaign for victims of Radford fire in Nottingham

A student affected by a fire that destroyed her accommodation is now raising money for those who lost all their possessions.

Shahin Munir from the University of Nottingham was one of many students affected by a fire at the former tobacco factory on Player Street, Radford, but is now taking to a crowdfunding page to ask for donations to help those who lost possessions.

A number of students who were already living in the partially converted building were evacuated when the fire began on Monday afternoon.

Part of the building was demolished yesterday due to extensive damage.
