MOTHERS will run a stall at a summer fete to raise money for their campaign to fund a playground for their community.
Kelly Hazeldine and Jennifer Tremain will sell doughnuts and run a tombola at the Hawley Fete in Hawley Road from 11.30am to 3.30pm on Saturday (June 13).
Both women live in Barton Road in Sutton-at-Hone, and since May 2007 have been fundraising to build a playground in Jubilee Field.
Mrs Hazeldine, a 35-year-old mother of three, said: “Children in Sutton-at-Hone have nothing to do as there is no youth club or playground, so they hang around on the streets and get into trouble.”
They have raised around £10,000 so far through donations and a grant from Dartford Council, but a new playground will cost almost £40,000.
Mrs Tremain, a 30-year-old mother of two, said: “We hope to raise a couple of hundred pounds more towards the cause at the fete.”
To help, or for details of the fete, call Mrs Hazeldine on 07812 708206 or Mrs Tremain on 07747 611825.
