A charity that supports people with learning disabilities in Cornwall is facing closure. East Cornwall's branch of the MENCAP Society says it desperately needs new volunteers if it's to continue

Gerald Bevan's youngest son Russell was a resident at the Budock Hospital, which closed after a string of failings in 2006. He told ITV's The West Country Tonight that they would have been lost without help from East Cornwall Mencap, which now faces closure because of a lack of volunteers.
