A CHARITY based near Chard which supports bereaved parents is desperately seeking help to raise vital funds.

Carol Crane, of Donyatt, established The Rosie Crane Trust in memory of her daughter, who tragically died from leukaemia, aged 23, in 2004.

The trust has been a registered charity since February, and helps parents struggling to come to terms with the loss of a child.

It offers a listening ear service, a drop-in centre and counselling support.

To carry on its good work, the trust needs regular financial support, and is looking for a volunteer marketing and fundraising specialist.

Anybody who is interested can contact Carol, the chair of trustees, on 01460-55120.
