In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, children's charitable grant givers made offers of support (See Analysis). A coalition was formed bringing together large national funders, government agencies and private companies and matching them up with the small community organisations working with children and families affected by Grenfell.

Kensington and Chelsea Council was widely criticised for its initial response to the disaster, but has also played a crucial role supporting those directly affected, providing therapeutic services and practical help to around 300 children.
