Kind-hearted friends and strangers have helped to raise over £24,000 for the family of a South Tyneside dad who died following an incident on an oil rig in Qatar.
A fundraiser was set up in the name of the Robert Robson who died last month after an incident on board the Seafox Burj rig. The 38-year-old from South Shields has been described as 'one of a kind' by his heartbroken family.
Since his death, Robert's friends and fellow oil rig workers have launched an effort to raise money to help his partner Kristie Graham and his family during this tragic time.
