There’s a GoFundMe to try and help the artists affected by this fire:
This is only a bandaid over a tremendous loss for local creatives. The other businesses in this building need support too.
Every sketchbook I’ve ever owned, every piece of equipment I’ve gathered over the last 8 years, a £3,000 iMac, physical and digital work made for clients, my entire lively hood for nearly two years that I worked to build. Gone.

Listen, we don’t know who we’d have to reach out to or if we’d need a fancy agent for this but: we just think it would be REALLY funny if all four of us were on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. We could all squeeze onto one chair or they could swap us out when they see fit.

Shouldn’t need to be said, but unfortunately right now it does. It’s important to know when to be quiet and just listen sometimes- in this case, the trans community needs vocal support. The UK PM (that the public never even voted for) is spewing hateful rhetoric.
