“She always laughed, she was always pleasant and she loved her sister Ava and her mum.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise awareness of Bella’s story and to help young people struggling with their mental health and bullying.

With a target of £5,000, the money will be used to fund packages for schools and hire premises where young people can meet and talk about their feelings and problems.
