Family and friends are organising a fundraising evening for a young boy who lost his mum and older brother in a car crash.

A trust fund has been set up for Alfie Arnold, 7, after his mother Nicola Morris, 29, and his brother Kai, 11, died following a crash in Ewell Road, Banstead, on July 5.

His father Dave Arnold’s cousin Stacey Reynolds and her best friend Tamara Armstrong, 29, are now organising a fundraising evening for him this December.

Ms Armstrong, from Worcester Park, said there will be a singer, band, raffle and auction during the event in aid of his trust fund at the Lord Nelson pub in Sutton.

She said: "I know we are not going to raise him the universe but we want to raise something to give him a bit of hope.

"He’s just lost his whole entire world. It’s awful. Everyone was devastated."

The boys’ grief stricken father Mr Arnold, who was engaged to Ms Morris, had his leg "shattered" during the head-on collision.

Ms Armstrong said lots of people have already come forward with offers of help and donations for an auction on the night.

She said: "We are trying to get things together for an auction. Everyone is being really lovely. It’s been really touching. I think it’s going to be a night of fun. "

Their fundraising website said: "We are raising money for a trust fund for when he gets bigger. Please help us give Alfie hope."
