A CHARITY which supports parents in Redditch and the surrounding areas who are mourning the loss of an adult child is back up and running.

PEAL (Parents Experiencing Adult Loss) made a decision last year to close because it was becoming almost impossible to continue operating with the funds it had.

But at a recent meeting, members of the committee agreed by a majority that they had not exhausted all opportunities open to them and have elected a new committee to take their work forward.

During the next five months, the organisation will be incurring costs such as professional fees, rent and insurance.

A spokesman said: "Every donation or fundraising event held for us helps keep us solvent and also enhances our chances of being successful with the Big Lottery Fund."

Anyone who wishes to help can call 01905 729911 or email peal@pealcentre.org.uk
