A fund set up in memory of a Mansfield man killed in 2005 has given a boost to autistic children.

The Kynan Eldridge fund was set up by 31-year-old Kynan’s parents — Anne and Peter Eldridge — under the auspices of the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation.

Kynan, who was killed by his landlord, particularly liked drum and bass, and had a general love of music

The fund aims to support local young people who are disadvantaged in some way to achieve their potential through music.

Anne and Peter presented a cheque for £500 to the Spectrum Wasp birthday party at Mansfield Superbowl.
Spectrum provides support, activities and respite to local children on the autistic spectrum, and their siblings and parents.

It offers a varied programme of events, for example swimming, outings, arts and crafts, football, guitar, ukulele, and drumming.

Anyone wanting more information on Spectrum, or feels they could help in any way, should contact Sue Edwards on [email protected] or visit www.spectrumwasp.wordpress.com
