The Bra Fence....Bra’s for BREAKTHROUGH
On a visit to New Zealand we drove along a road with fencing that was strung with bras, yes that's right braziers, of every shape and colour, lacy, racy, large and small!
I’ve rounded up the Kiss Team of ladies and together we’re raising funds.
We ask you to please DONATE A BRA, and £5 (suggested donation) to BREAKTHROUGH.
Have you got a pretty bra in your drawer that you are not going to wear again? That’s the one we want to help build our Bra-ed wire Fence
Your bra will not be named but your name will go into a raffle for a special prize.
The Bra Fence will be in celebration of DORSET ARTS WEEK 26th May – 10 June. We are hosting an exciting Exhibition of Textiles at HIGHWAY FARM, Bridport.
The ALLSORTS, an eclectic mix of ladies, talents and creativity! Please come and see. Refreshments in the garden on Saturday, Sunday and Mondays.
At the end of Arts week all the bras will be washed and sent to the women of Malawi to be distributed by daughter Lucy who lives and works in Malawi. The bras are a little luxury and are sure to be appreciated.
The fence along our drive is long and can accommodate lots of bras, so please spread the word - I think it will be fun! Please ask your friends, family and neighbours.
We're in the pink! It's all good fun and the bra's are coming in, and donations too, and a tremenous lot of support and ideas too.
Downhouse Farm Garden Cafe have a Bra competition going on, local bakery Leakers are selling bra biscuits and a member of their Jonathon with his friends put on a freerunning display in West Bay on Saturday, all raising money for BREAKTHROUGH.
I'm very inspired and thrilled when people offer to help and join in, especially the younger people, well done. Last week Nikki's girls at Downhouse donated their weekly tips. Thank you to everyone for your support.
I keep arriving home to find bra's hung on my front door and I've had to put a poster up so as not to frighten off my new B&B guests. The repeat guests are fine as they know I'm always up to something new for charity!
