Christian Chandler's brother Luke will have his hair dyed, while his sister Charlie will have her hair cut short.

They are hoping to raise money for the Rainbow Room at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

The mortuary area was designed to offer a calming place where family can see their loved ones.

Christian's mother, Aimee Chandler, said: "It is a lovely room but they don't get a lot of donations for bedding, pyjamas or pillows.

"We want to give something back for all the help they have gave us and still are giving us as a family."

Christian was killed after he was hit by a bus in October last year.

After the terrible news of his death the community came together to raise thousands of pounds towards his funeral.
