A fund is being raised to provide mental health support to the 15-year-old girl who was viciously beaten outside a school in what police are investigating as a racially-motivated attack.
Cheryl Phoenix, founder of the Black Child Agenda and working with the family of the schoolgirl, says she is “barely eating or speaking” after the horrific incident at Thomas Knyvett school in Ashford, Surrey.
Five people were arrested on suspicion of attempted racially aggravated grievous bodily harm, including a 39-year-old woman and two girls aged 11 and 16.
