Richard Wilkes, owner of the firm, said: "People have lost everything in this disaster - it just doesn't bear thinking about.

"The people of Chesterfield can help.

"We're particularly looking for items like toiletries, clothes and tins of food - they'll make a big difference to those whose lives have been turned completely upside down."

Firefighters were called to the 24-storey residential tower in the early hours of Wednesday.

At least 17 people have died. Police say the death toll could rise further.
