The QPR community continues to pull together in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire as former Hoops youngster Raheem Sterling is set to make 'a substantial donation' to help those affected.

Sterling grew up in North West London, and began his football career in the youth set-up at Queens Park Rangers, which is located just a mile from the Kensington estate.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the 22-year-old said: "This is a deep and sad situation, one that's close to my heart and hard to swallow.

"I would like to help in the best way I can. It is only a small step, but small steps lead to big changes if we all come together.

"My condolences to the affected families, also the individuals who lost their homes."

The contribution from the Manchester City attacker is expected to aid the victims, families and residents of the Grenfell Tower, which led to 17 people being confirmed dead.
