Her death shocked local communities who came together to support Chloe's family and friends.听 Within days volunteers from the Bidston Rise Community House had arranged a charity event in Clover Drive where Chloe lived.听 Local people and businesses rallied round to help and money was raised to go towards the needs of the family at that time, including a headstone for Chloe's grave. A few days later volunteers from the Prince's Trust, supported by BNBEAG, that's Bidston & North Birkenhead Environmental Action Group, came up with the idea to transform a piece of wasteland alongside the community house, into a garden to be dedicated to the memory of Chloe. With just two weeks to go before the opening, young people from the P.T. team made lots of 'phone calls to local garden and environmental suppliers to appeal for their help.听Donations of听 building materials, soil, plants and garden furniture came flooding in. On the day the garden was officially opened, Wirral Mayor Peter Johnson made an impassioned speech about the role of communities in the event of tragedies like the death of Chloe Jackson.听 He then presented members of the Prince's Trust Team with certificates which will remind them of the part they played in the project.

Jean McIntosh, Chair or BNBEAG said, "Needless to say, no amount of praise is great enough to repay the volunteers workers and local businesses who helped create the garden and our heartfelt thanks go out to Tom Wilkinson and his Team at Prince's Trust for their efforts." Claire Jackson, Chloe's mum, attended the opening of the garden and thanked everyone for their support during a difficult time. |
