Fundraising tea party to support bereavement charity

A fundraising tea party will be held in Lynn next week in aid of a charity supporting bereaved parents.

The Forget Me Not Tea Party, which will take place at Reffley Community Hall on Monday between 10am and 2pm, will raise funds for Aching Arms.

The event, hosted by Lynn bereaved parent group Whispers from Wings, will feature hot drinks, cakes and bakes.

The charity gives ‘comfort bears’ to hospitals and hospices, for midwives and nurses to offer to bereaved parents in their care.

Along with the bears, Aching Arms offer a support service to parents after their loss, whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or soon after.
