More than £140,000 has been pledged to a fund set up to help victims of the floods in Cumbria.
The Cumbria Flood Recovery Fund will provide financial help for those worst affected when record levels of rain fell in 24 hours before the weekend.
Cumbria County Council has pledged £50,000 to the fund and the public have begun to donate money via the website.
Collections are taking place in Whitehaven and Workington and a call centre is taking telephone donations.
Nuclear Management Partners, who own Sellafield Ltd, kick-started the fund by donating £50,000 and Allerdale Borough Council pledged £25,000.
