Collect money for safety device around broken drain (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fundraise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'collect' is the definition.
(I know that fundraise is a more specific form of raise)

'device around broken drain' is the wordplay.
'device' becomes 'fuse' (fuse is a kind of device).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'drain' is an anagram of 'ndrai'.
'fuse' placed around 'ndrai' is 'FUNDRAISE'.

'money for safety' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for fundraise that I've seen is " get money for a good cause?".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
