Let’s Give Life a Chance – An Evening of Fashion, Beauty, Shopping and Entertainment” is going to
be held at the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa, Newcastle on Thursday 10th November 7pm.
Organiser Mandy Lacey proprietor of Mourne Therapies says ‘Both TinyLife, the premature baby
charity for Northern Ireland and Tommys baby charity will benefit from the ‘Give Life a Chance’
event.
Every day in Northern Ireland 7 babies are born too soon, some will arrive as early as 24 weeks
and can weigh as little as 1lb!. TinyLife provides practical and emotional support to the parents of
premature and vulnerable babies.
Sadly, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, 1 in 13 births are premature and 1 in 200 babies are
stillborn. Tommys hopes to half the number of miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births by
2030.’
Mandy continues, ‘This event is aimed at not only raising a fantastic amount of money but also
having a great time.
There will be a fashion collection from fashion houses around the County Down area with
something for everyone from casual wear to beautiful bridal and evening gowns. Fashions from
Wildflower Boutique, Downpatrick; Hidden Secret Bridal, Banbridge; ASDA, Downpatrick and
Childrens fashions by Gorgeous Eco Baby, Newry. The children from Bunscoil Na mBeann, Kilkeel
are looking forward to strutting their stuff in the children’s fashion show.
There will be craft stalls there for you to shop till you drop selling jewellery, hats, bath and body
products, candles, you name it and for those looking to get pampered a range of beauty
treatments will be available – manicures, pedicures, massages, eye brow waxing, make-over’s as
well as hair, fashion and wellbeing advice, all thanks to Marine Beauty Haven, Newcastle and
Aurora Pamper Evenings, Newcastle and Kelly’s Beauty Works, Annalong.
Two lucky volunteers will receive an “extreme make-over” on the night; they will be whisked back
stage where they will get their make-up done, nails done, hair done and get fashion advice.
On top of all this, there will be fantastic raffle prizes to be won, goody bags, entertainment from
Dance Excel, singing from tribute band Moments that Matter, music by DJ Taz and all hosted by
comedian Ryan Hand.
So come along, bring all your friends, have a natter, a shop, see all the up-to-date fashions, have
a dance and a sing and have a great night. But most of all ………… let’s help support tiny babies.
There is still room for a few more craft stalls, see contact details below to book one.
