LLLGB is entirely non-profit so any money raised will go directly to support mums in our area.
As well as having a lovely play park at the venue we will also have:
Home made lemonade | Cakes and bakes | A raffle (see wall post for a list of prizes)
Some outdoor toys
Unfortunately we aren’t able to provide sandwiches for everyone but please feel free to bring your own.
We’d like to suggest a donation of £5 per family. That will give you as much free cake and lemonade as you like and a free ticket for the raffle. Additional raffle strips can be bought at £1 each.
Thank you for your support!
