The Crib has set up the fund to help the family of 16-year-old Agnes Sina-Inakoju, who was shot dead outside a takeaway restaurant in Hoxton on 14 April.
The money will also be used to set up counselling facilities for bereaved families and young people with experiences of homicide. Janette Collins, manager at the Crib, said: "Agnes was always getting involved and always helping out with organising the club's activities.

A 21-year-old man has been charged with Agnes's murder.
