A BROAD cross-section of the Tasmanian community has banded together to set up a trust to help two little boys who were severely burnt in a car explosion in Burnie earlier this month.
Family friends, groups of mothers, service clubs and churches have joined forces to form the Fletcher and Spencer Support Committee to co-ordinate fundraising activities and other aid for the eight- and five-year-olds.
Police are still waiting to speak to the boys' father.
He is expected to be charged with attempted murder.
The 49-year-old man and his sons received burns to more than 25 per cent of their bodies in the car fire which happened in the backyard of their Shorewell home a fortnight ago.
The boys remain in a critical but stable condition in intensive care in the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
Their father is being treated in the ICU of the Royal Hobart Hospital and his condition has been downgraded from critical to serious.
However, police expect it will still be weeks before they can interview him about the incident.
The Vice-District-Governor of Lions Tasmania, George Bugeja, will chair the committee, which has already received offers of help from local businesses, individuals, entertainers and celebrity chefs.
Tins will be placed on the counters of some businesses to collect money for the appeal and donations can also be made at the ANZ bank.
The Fletcher and Spencer Trust has been set up to administer the donations received to ensure all money will be spent in the best interests of the boys.
