A TRUST set up by the parents of a teenager who died suddenly has donated £1,144 to Langport-based children's charity bibic.

The gift from The Jemima Layzell Trust will enable two more families to access therapy for brain injured youngsters at bibic.

bibic chief executive Lynda Williams said the trust has made a number of donations in memory of former Taunton School student Jemima, who was just 13 when she died from a brain aneurism.

Ms Williams said: "Once again we are hugely grateful for the continued support of The Jemima Layzell Trust in the form of another welcome donation.

"bibic receives no government funding, so relies on donations to be able to survive.

"These donations mean we can continue to offer therapeutic programmes for brain injured children.

"This particular donation means two more families can access bibic therapy who otherwise would have found it difficult.’ Jemima's mother, Sophy Layzell, said: "Even before Jemima died we supported bibic as a family for many years.

"Now we are especially committed, as Jemima’s charity was set up specifically to help children with brain injuries.

"The work bibic does is unique and highly specialised, offering support to children and families when often nothing else seems available, and they need our help to continue."
