A spokesman for JustGiving said:
“Yesterday we saw an attack on the city that JustGiving calls home – it was an attack on what we as a company hold dear: compassion, empathy and democracy. Today has shown the world that London’s spirit of compassion and togetherness will not be beaten. JustGiving is united squarely behind our community in their efforts to raise money for the heroic Police Officer, PC Keith Palmer who died defending our principles and our democracy. Our team is working with our community and the page owner to share our solidarity and compassion with Keith’s wife and daughter in their time of need.”
