We are asking for your Support in helping us make this Sunday's Tea for Tadhg a grand event

We ask all members to come down and join us for a cuppa this Sunday, as we aim to raise funds to help support Laura & Greg on their journey of recovery and rehabilitation for Tadhg.

This incident has put significant financial strain on Laura & Greg, having to pay for additional accommodation in Auckland, airfares to and from Auckland, along with other associated expenses, let alone being off work for Laura since September last year. All funds raised are going directly to assist them with care needs for Tadhg.
