Family of teenager killed near Pateley Bridge raise £6,700 in his memory

Tuesday, 9 December 2025 12:35

The friends and family of Bailey Chadwick (left) raised money in his memory.

Family and supporters of a teenager was killed in a fatal hit and run incident have raised more than £6,700 in his memory.

19-year-old Bailey Chadwick was walking home from his job at the Royal Oak pub in July when he was struck by a vehicle between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses.

Bailey’s family reached out to Just ‘B’ for support to help them process his sudden loss, working alongside bereavement support counsellors to process their grief and signpost to further support where possible.

They then decided to join with Bailey’s friends to host a races night to raise money and awareness for the charity, raising a total of £6752.88.

Dayle Knights, Bailey’s mum, said:

“I am overwhelmed with all the support from my friends and community. Thank you all.”

Close friend of Bailey, Tegan Duncan, said:

“There is a deep pain in not knowing, no explanations, no closure. Just a bright life cut short and a community left in the middle of all this uncertainty. We are continuing to stay hopeful for answers.

“We are not letting this story fade into the background, we are not letting Bailey’s name be forgotten and we are not giving up – not on justice, not on each other, not on the future.

“Because keeping Bailey’s name alive reminds the world that love endures, truth matters and silence won’t have the final word. #BecauseofBailey”

Just ‘B’ provides specialist bereavement and emotional wellbeing support to children, young adults and adults across the communities of North Yorkshire, as well as offering specialist support regionally and nationally.

The money raised will go towards ensuring people have access to support when they need it most.
