YOUNG widows and widowers will head to Dinton Pastures to mark the 20th anniversary a support charity.

Widowed and Young (WAY) was founded in 1997 by journalist Caroline Sarll after her sister was widowed at the age of 35.

Since then it has grown across the UK and now has 2,400 members.

On Sunday, May 21, the families will head to the Wokingham beauty spot to with their picnic blankets to enjoy the celebration.

Volunteer Jackie Outhwaite said: "It’s a chance for WAY members and their children to let their hair down and have some fun.

"It’s also a chance to spread the word about how WAY has helped them and how it can help other people who have lost their partner at a young age too."

The charity helps anyone under the age of 50 overcoming the loss of a partner irrespective of if they were married or had children together.

The peer-to-peer charity is staffed by volunteers who have faced the same challenges.
