Since the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in the UK in June, public figures from all around the world have reached out to support victims and rescue workers affected by the fire. One of the most active supporters has been British superstar Adele, who immediately visited a vigil at Grenfell Tower in the hours after the blaze claimed at least 48 lives.
She'd continued, asking fans at concert stops to donate to her Grenfell Tower support fund. And she took yet another step this week — bringing the children affected by the fire to a private screening of the animated film Despicable Me 3.
As reported by UK newspaper The Sun, Adele hosted the screening at Whiteley's cinema in London. A source told the paper:
"Adele sees her work in the community as a full-time priority now her touring days are over for the foreseeable future. Being a local Londoner, she's made no secret about how personally affected she was by the Grenfell Tower blaze and wants to help in every way she can.
While she's working hard behind the scenes to raise cash, she wanted to treat residents to a night of fun and help take their minds off what happened and organized a private viewing of the brand new Despicable Me 3 movie. Everyone was overwhelmed by her generosity."
The singer posed for photos, and reportedly invited actual giant Minions to meet the kids. Adele forever.
