Afternoon tea for Rainbow Love

Local charity Rainbow Love has joined the Super Arts Project in the Tuggerah Supa Centre to host an afternoon tea fundraiser event on August 30.

Umina resident and charity founder Ms Susie O'Donnell said it was great to get back into raising funds for Rainbow Love after more than six months break.

"After leaving Rainbow Gate at 207 West St, Umina, in December last year we look forward to organising more fundraising events to assist Central Coast children in need," Ms O'Donnell said.

"Rainbow Love embraces the use of art, music, dance and alternate therapies to raise funds for children on the Central Coast who suffer from complicated disorders and require a high level of care."

Ms O'Donnell said the first event would feature the sale of arts and crafts, music, raffles and alternate therapies including tarot readings, Reiki and massage.

"Our first event will be held on August 30 from 12pm to 4pm at the Tuggerah Supa Centre," Ms O'Donnell said.

"There we will be sharing a space with Peninsula artist and sculptor Roger Heighington. "Roger has also been organising a group of artists to participate in a group painting.

"When this painting is completed it will be raffled or auctioned at a future fundraising event for Rainbow Love.

"With many other Central Coast artists exhibiting in the centre it promises to be an enjoyable afternoon for all the family.

"I hope that all the wonderful supporters we had at Rainbow Gate in West St will be able to join us."
