Around 165 homes in South Yorkshire have been damaged by flooding caused by Storm Babet.
South Yorkshire's Community Foundation said around 165 homes in the county had been damaged, with the village of Catcliffe near Rotherham worst affected.
Michelle Dickinson from the foundation said the emphasis would be on helping people who did not have insurance.Ms Dickinson described the appeal as "vital" and said the flooding of people's homes was a "really, really evil thing". "We completely understand the heartache that is caused by this devastating loss of property due to the flood water," she said."It may be they don't have the finances to insure their properties," she said."We know that it makes a huge difference for them to know that the local community is behind them, supporting them."The charity launched similar appeals after flooding hit South Yorkshire in 2007 and 2019.
Last Friday's storm caused widespread flooding across the UK and saw some parts of Yorkshire receive double the average monthly rainfall in a 24 to 36-hour period, the Environment Agency said.
