Members of staff at a charity say they are struggling financially after it suddenly closed

Some have even had to leave their homes as they haven't received their last salary, and can't claim benefits yet

PARC (Essex), based at Great Notley Country Park, had closed down, leaving parents and children who use it in the lurch.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Essex has been contacted by former staff of the charity who say they feel forgotten and have had to cope with the "emotional heartache" of losing their jobs and the "financial stress" of being unable to pay bills.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Essex speaks to Amanda Stewart, who worked at Parc and wrote to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Essex on behalf of the staff, as well as Callum Riordan who worked at Parc for four and a half years.
