EMOTIONAL PLEA TO SUPPORT MUSIC ZONE

- WILLIAM TELFORD

Bosses sound out plea to fund charity

BOSSES of the award-winning Plymouth Music Zone have made an emotional plea for cash to stop the charity closing next month.

The Devonport-based organisation needs £11,000 a month to keep going and is begging for donations.

The charity's chair of trustees Chris Hunt and music programme director Karl Meyer said PMZ is facing a crisis and have issued an urgent plea on the PMZ website and set up a page on the fundraiser JustGiving.

They said it was with "a mixture of emotions and with sadness" that after 25 years of "tireless hard work and creativity" the charity faces "the very real possibility of closing our doors for the last time".

They stressed that at the moment PMZ continues to work with, and is supported, by local and national funders and stakeholders and still has a programme of activities being delivered by staff and volunteers.
