Olivia-Violet Reeves: Family hand over money raised for charity close to Shrewsbury school girl's heart
The family of a Shrewsbury school girl who was tragically killed while walking home from school have handed over more than £1,700 to the wildlife charity she was passionate about.
Representatives from the World Wildlife Fund travelled to Shrewsbury to meet with the family of Olivia-Violet Reeves, from Worthen, who died aged 11 in June after she was struck by a 4x4 that mounted the pavement in Mytton Oak Road while she was walking to the bus stop from St George’s Junior School.
Her death shocked the town and has led to money being raised by various supporters, including well-wishers at her funeral, pupils and staff at Coleham Primary School and colleagues of mother Jo Reeves at Shropshire Council, among others.
St George’s has also raised money separately, earmarked to help pay for family members to travel to an elephant sanctuary in Africa supported by Olivia-Violet.
