CLAPA Fundraising

Just an update! We have continued to raise awareness and funds for Cleft Lip And Palate Association (CLAPA). Our first event, an evening at Tavistock Retro, South Shields was a resounding success. The venue provided us with the most amazing tapas (which was complimented by all!) Sean Kilmartin was the perfect host and the room was dressed to perfection by Totally Reem Chair Covers! The entertainment by Grace Davison and Terry Slesser was second to none. A great night had by all! The raffle was well received with many fabulous prizes donated by friends, family and local businesses.

Our second event was a children's party at St Simon's Community Project, with entertainment provided by DP Entertainments and a candy cart provided by Tyne and Wear Candy Carts were very popular. The party games, candy cart and tombola were particular favourites with the children!

In total, for both events we have raised a grand total of £1100! We are so appreciative of all those businesses and individuals who've donated prizes and their time and effort for the cause. We could not have achieved this without your support. We've had great fun raising money for CLAPA and are very much looking forward to the arrival of our son in around 4 weeks time!
