The family of murdered teenager Samantha Madgin have opened a caravan retreat to support those whose lives have been devastated by knife crime.
Samantha was just 18 when she was stabbed to death in Wallsend in 2007. Following the tragedy, her family set up Samantha's Legacy, a charity in her memory that works tirelessly to educate young people about the dangers of carrying knives.
Samantha's mum Alison, sister Carly and cousin Yvonne, have also worked to offer their support to those who have found themselves in similar circumstances. And now they have proudly opened the doors to a caravan getaway for families who have been similarly impact by serious violence.
