She was told there would be no ashes after his funeral.

23 years later, Tina is still campaigning for William,

and more than 100 other families who say their babies ashes

were scattered or kept without their knowledge.

Today she and two other mothers met with Hull City Council,

along with the local MP, calling again for a local

It is for all of us, for William and all the other parents.

Clearly I want to know why I did not get my son's ashes back

because I would have had plans of what to do with those ashes.

The same with every parent who has been involved.

Today's meeting is the latest in a long campaign.

Tina began the action group in 2014, after she discovered her son's

ashes had been scattered following his cremation.

After two years of campaigning including handing in a petition

In May last year Michael Gove wrote to Hull City Council asking them

to commission an enquiry into what happened.

But five months later, the new Justice Secretary Liz Truss

said she was satisfied with the changes the council had

That is a decision which has angered campaigners.

I do not think this was their finest hour.

These families really want answers to their questions

The chief executive did agree he would speak to the leader

of the council about this and relay the strength of feeling

of the family so we will have to see what the leader says next.

In a statement, Hull City Council says they offer their deepest

sympathies to those affected by this tragic situation.

But Tina still wants the council to meet with a bigger group

She says only then will they realise the scale of what happened.

But when you're living with dementia, isolation

So here at Market Deeping in South Lincolnshire,

a group is taking people with dementia to places

they wouldn't normally be able to get to, and it's more

Well, we get people becoming much more active so they get to go out

and walk, which is great not just for physical health

but for your emotional health and well-being as well.

People also get to reminisce over maps and look at places

where they used to live but also about where they have walked before

and where they would like to go in the future.

Sortified received ?2000 from Comic Relief last year

to organise walks and outdoor activities for people with dementia.

Geo-caching is electronic treasure hunting so I have hidden five

containers so we will go out on a bit with a GPS unit

Without the help of Sortified it would be nigh on impossible

for many here to enjoy the countryside safely.

And it's come to play a vital role in their lives.

To come here once a fortnight, it's really good to get together.

If this wasn't here, you would just be sitting

You would sit there and wonder what do I do now?

You have got a life, you still need to live it and carry on.

It is things like these that is helping us in our lives.

The amount of money provided by Comic Relief may be

small, but it's making a big difference here.

Without Comic Relief we wouldn't be able to do this group.

We wouldn't have the funding, we wouldn't be able to do it.

It's really vital that people can see the money that they give and can

come along and help us to provide superb activities for people,

doing things they wouldn't normally get to do.

So it is thanks to everyone who has donated to Comic Relief

that the work here can continue and those who benefit can

carry on enjoying a full and satisfying life.
