On Sunday the 3rd September, at approximately 4.30pm a group of young men were arguing with an older gentleman who was sat outside The Studio with another man. The conversation became heated within seconds and one of the younger males threw a punch, which knocked the victim unconscious and to the floor. Emergency services were called immediately and they worked tirelessly for over an hour to save the gentleman but unfortunately he passed away.

We would like to raise money in his honour and help his family give him an admirable fitting Funeral, and send off, also helping with anything they need themselves at this very very sad tragic time.,x

Please give anything you can, no matter how small, and all will be handed to his family,

We would like to thank everyone on behalf of DN35 Community Crimewatch, and also take this opportunity to say that we are thinking of Mike and his Family at his sad time, and all our love and heartfelt, condolences go out to you all.

Thank you x

R.I.P Mike Hawkins x
