Over £14,000 has so far been raised for the family of a little girl who drowned at a South Yorkshire golf course on Monday.

7 year old Nyla May Bradshaw was pulled from water at the Owston Hall golf course near Doncaster on Monday after a search involving drones and a police helicopter.

A tribute posted on a GoFundMe page, set up to aid Nyla's family, reads: "Nyla was a deeply loved little girl—autistic and non-verbal—who brought so much light and love to those around her."

"Her sudden and devastating loss has left her family in unimaginable shock and heartbreak.

"We are asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden and allow Nyla’s family to focus on grieving and remembering their precious little girl."

Police are not treating the death as suspicious, with the family being supported by specialist officers.
