A rough sleeper from Bognor who had all his possessions deliberately set alight is being helped by a good Samaritan.

West Sussex Fire and Rescue say they were called to a tent on fire in London Road just after 10pm on Sunday.

The incident moved passerby Dylan Matten so much, that he created a GoFundMe page, to help him, and has already raised more than £700.

On Fundraiser by Dylan Matten : This person has lost his home he setup (gofundme.com) Dylan Matten said "So I've walked past a few times and seen how much this guy has tried to make a home here and it broke my heart. And now I see how somebody has set fire to it, so all I'm asking is can we raise some money to get him a new tent, hell even though to rent a home in a dream world. Please even if you have 1 pound help your brother out. This guy has had a really rough time in life and now this happens to him so please if you can help it would be amazing. Let's bring our community together."
