Reclaim These Streets raises £200,000 after Sarah Everard vigil cancelled

Group whose in-person London vigil was cancelled is instead raising money for women's charities

A fundraiser for women's charities in commemoration of Sarah Everard, whose body was found on Friday after she vanished in London more than a week ago, has raised more than 200,000 since its launch on Saturday morning.

The fundraiser was organised by Reclaim These Streets, after the cancellation of its in-person vigil for Everard over disputes with police about the legality and safety of the gathering. It was launched at 7.15am on Saturday, and had raised a remarkable 203,432 by the early afternoon.
