CHEEKY children are invited to a tea party to raise money for new parents.

The Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party, organised by 50-year-old charity the National Childbirth Trust (NCT), will be held from 1.30 to 3.30 pm on Tuesday July 14 at St Michael's Church Hall, Gordon Hill, Enfield, with three score expected to attend.

Tea and cakes will be the backdrop for music, a colouring competition, and baby massage taster sessions.

NCT Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party is the charity’s biggest fundraising event of the year with up to 300 events taking place around the UK.

Waheed Warden from NCT Enfield branch says; “Our NCT Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party is the first in what we hope will be a series of memorable fundraising events for babies and pre-school children in Enfield. All money raised will go towards helping the charity’s vital support and information for new parents.”

The tea party appeal is to raise funds for the creation and development of a helpline for new parents, providing information and support, including help with emotional, physical and social changes involved in the transition to parenthood.
