Local volunteer-run charity We Care Connect is hosting a Mother’s Day tea at Magenta Shores Pullman Resort to support local kids in poverty.

We Care Connect explained that 10,000 local children live below the poverty line – one in six children on the Coast who go without.  

With the help of the local community, We Care Connect provides practical everyday essentials to thousands of children each year.

Each month they provide assistance to more than 200 children.

We Care Connect is hosting the High Tea fundraiser and invites the local community to get involved and come together.

Magenta Shores will be preparing a delicious High Tea for guests who will enjoy a glass of sparkling on arrival.

We Care Connect will host a Mother’s Day stall, raffles and entertainment to ensure guests have a wonderful afternoon

We Care Connect team member, Helen Barker said, “We are regularly hearing about families who do not have the basic items needed for their children – whether it’s a newborn baby about to be born and the family have no means to purchase a cot or car seat, or a family who is fleeing a violent home and leave with nothing but the clothes they’re wearing and a backpack.

“We’re excited to host this year’s Mother’s Day High Tea to raise money for We Care Connect to continue to support these children who desperately deserve to be supported … and it’s a good excuse to get together with friends, family or collages and show your support for local kids who don’t have enough.”

The event takes place at Magenta Shores Pullman Resort on Friday 6 May and tickets can be booked at events.humanitix.com/wecareconnectmothersdayhightea2022
