Kara Wyn Jones and Sam Penfold, lost their son Arthur Wyn in March, and now have a dream of setting up an all-purpose retreat in Portugal where children from the ages of 11 to 16 will come from all over the world to enjoy activities from gardening and cooking to kayaking and beekeeping through the new Arthur Wyn Foundation.

Sam said the plan is to give children the opportunities to try things his son would have, but could not now enjoy.

The foundation will give children the opportunity to try 24 activities, one for each of the 24 minutes that Arthur Wyn lived.

The couple will begin the long-term plans with fishing and shooting activity days in Wales, after embarking on a fundraising drive.
