Sarah Dearden said, “We will also have a raffle which local companies have donated some fantastic prizes, from meal vouchers, family days out, beauty treatments etc.
“There will also be a few stalls to pick up some great gifts and at 12noon Peppa Pig will visit and be available for photos with all the children. I am also incorporating Slimming World Cakes, as a slimming world member who has lost about 2 stone and voted Women of the Year 2014 in my group, I felt it would be nice for our local members to be able to enjoy something like a coffee morning without the guilt.
“My Slimming World consultant, Hannah Beeson, has been very supportive and we have had lots of members volunteering to make Slimming World friendly cakes for my event; it’s a coffee morning with a difference! It’s such a worthy cause and special to me personally as I lost my best friend and uncle to cancer.”
