Over £2,000 raised for family of teen who drowned in Ulley reservoir

A fundraising page has been set up by friends of 16-year-old Sam Haycock, who died after getting into difficult at Ulley reservoir near Rotherham.

Sam had visited Ulley Reservoir in Rotherham with friends on Friday afternoon when he got into difficulty in the water.
