A crowdfunding drive launched in memory of Professor Jason Arday raises more than £20,000 and later passes £30,000 for his family, according to reporting from London outlets. The campaign starts on Saturday afternoon and continues to attract donations.
The fundraiser is described as being initiated by Windrush campaigner Sir Patrick Vernon. Different outlets report different donation totals as the campaign grows, reflecting updates at different points in time rather than changes in the campaign’s purpose. Both accounts characterize the drive as a public effort to provide support to Arday’s family following his death.
While the overall focus remains consistent across coverage, the amounts cited vary because each source publishes at a different stage of the fundraising process.
