A fundraising page set up after the death of Tui agent Cassie Hayes has exceeded its £7,000 target after only nine days.

Tributes paid to agent Cassie Hayes outside Tui store in Southport

The Cassie Hayes #agentsunited page on gofundme had received donations of £7,300 as TTG went to press. It was created by Travel Gossip co-founder Bruce Martin after Hayes was killed on January 13 in the Southport shop where she was assistant manager. The money will be donated to the family of Cassie, who had a young daughter.


Hundreds gathered in Chapel Street, Southport over the weekend for a vigil remembering Cassie. A minute’s silence began at 1.27pm, marking exactly seven days since the incident, and following the tribute the crowd broke into a round of applause.
