AN ORGANISATION set up by the parents of a teenager who died in a tragic accident last May is holding a special event this summer.
Josh’s Prayers, which is named in memory of Josh Jones, an 18-year-old trainee mechanic who was killed when a car fell on top of him, is planning a day of family fun and live music in Stourport on Saturday, July 18.
The event will take place on what would have been Josh's 19th birthday and will raise funds for Josh’s Prayers’ work with other bereaved families locally.
Stephanie Jones, Josh’s mother, said: “This event will help us to spread the word about what we do and who we are trying to help.
“Our organisation provides financial assistance to bereaved families, meaning they don’t have that added pressure or worry.”
The group provides grants to people in order to lessen the burden of burial or cremation arrangements at a difficult time.
The fundraising and awareness event in July will feature children's entertainers, fire eaters and puppet shows during the day and four live bands in the evening.
It will take place at the riverside in Stourport but donations to Josh’s Prayers will be welcomed.
