A fundraising page has been set up to raise £1,000 by a group of mums after the incident on Wednesday.

Sophie Wiggins, who lives in Ramsgate and works at Beech Tree Total Care in Birchington, started it.

On it she writes: "We're raising £1,000 for the children after the attack on their mum left them without anything after their house was burnt down

"We, as mums ourselves, have decided we are going to try and help her and her children as they have lost everything.

"Donations of any kind I am sure will be greatly received," she said.
