Stafford house fire fundraising event planned in memory of young victims

Riley Holt, aged eight, Keegan Unitt, six, Tilly Rose Unitt, four, and Olly Unitt, three, died in the fire in Sycamore Lane, Highfields, on February 5.

So far more than £30,000 has been raised for the family of the youngsters, which has been put in a trust.

Some money will be used to help pay for the funerals but the trustees as much of the costs were likely to be met by Stafford Borough Council and funeral directors, cash would be left over.

The remaining money will be left for two-year-old Jack, who survived the tragedy alongside his 24-year-old mother Natalie Unitt and her 28-year-old partner Chris Moulton, who jumped out of a first-floor window.

This Saturday's fundraising event will begin at 7pm at Stafford's Gatehouse Theatre.
