Friends and supporters of a Bristol family who lost their business and were left homeless after an alleged arson attack on the guest house they run have launched a fundraising appeal to help them.
The Sim family have run the Alpha Guest House in Southville for around 30 years, but the building is out of action now after two fires were started there a fortnight ago.
The family told Bristol Live how they felt let down by the council and support services, who left them with nowhere to go on the night of the fire.
