Derby Friends of Life Afternoon Tea

On Sunday, 4 December, the Friends of Derby Life hosted a Christmas Afternoon Tea at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Centre, Mickleover, Derby to raise funds for the Life Charity. Over 130 people enjoyed home made sandwiches, scones, mince pies and a wide variety of cakes. A  fantastic amount of just over £1,700 was raised from ticket sales, donations and a raffle.  Many thanks go to all who made the event such a success.

Life is a national charity that is creating a world where no-one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone.  More than 200 mums and babies are housed in their network of 23 houses.  Life also has two charity shops in Derby City Centre (as well as others in Breaston, Leicester and Nuneaton).  Funds raised enable Life to reach out to the 200 people every day asking for listening support and counselling, free pregnancy tests and emotional and practical help.
