Friday 16 May; 3.30 - 5.00pm: Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
Every year ten million children die before their fifth birthday from illnesses we know how to prevent or treat. With your help we can change this. Small sums of money can make such a difference - 80p pays for one day’s supply of micronutrient peanut butter which helps keep malnourished children alive, £1.00 buys 5 sachets of salts to rehydrate very weak children, £4 buys a water filter. A group of parents from Heriot and Moorfoot primary schools are organising this Mad Hatter’s tea party which we hope you will be able to attend to help raise funds for Save the Children. There will be an activity for children (and adults) of decorating a hat, as well as a couple of stalls, a raffle as well as tea! We look forward to seeing you on 16th May. Thank you for your support.
