Nine year old Chloe Dunnell was airlifted from Guernsey to Southampton General Hospital three years ago after she was crushed against a skip by a runaway van.

Staff at the hospital were unable to save Chloe's life because her head injuries were too serious.

Chloe's family set up a fundraising trust to buy specialist equipment for the hospital's Neurological Centre - £5000 has been raised and will be handed over by the Saint's star today.

"Chloes death was an awful tradgedy. We are deligted to be given this money and I can assure Chloe's family that it will be put to good use."
Sister Chrissy Ward

Chloe's father Andrew said raising money for treating children with head injuries has given the family "something positive" to do in Chloe's memory.
