TVNZ Breakfast’s Toni Street, One New’s Renee Wright and media personality Mary Lambie will join us to share their joys, triumphs and lessons learnt from motherhood. New mum Toni Street, is looking forward to sharing her experiences, and says being a mum is better than she ever imagined. “I can’t believe how much love I have for my daughter Juliette. She is the most precious thing, and undoubtedly the greatest achievement of my life.”

Guests will be treated to fine food, a glass of bubbles on arrival, a goodie bag packed with treats, plus entertainment from Tui award-winning Singer/Songwriter Tami Nielson. Children are welcome too - there will be cupcake decorating, face painting and they’ll get their own goodie bag!

Proceeds raised from the event will go towards getting life’s necessary items into the hands of children in need. According to the Child Poverty Action Group, approximately 20% or 270,000 New Zealand children live in poverty. Many of these children miss out on life’s necessary items.
