Five years ago, two South Shields families which had been united by young love were torn apart by an attack of unfathomable evil.
Teenage sweethearts Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, were among the 22 people killed in the Manchester bombing atrocity on May 22, 2017. The couple, who'd dreamed of getting married one day, were 'inseparable' in life - and now their names are forever joined in a charity which helps local young people follow their dreams.
Determined to honour their beloved children, parents Caroline Curry and Mark and Lisa Rutherford set up the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust in the aftermath of the tragedy. In the years since, they've created a lasting legacy for the couple through the trust, which gives grants to local teens to allow them to follow their sporting or artistic passions.
