FAMILIES affected by cleft lip and/or palate are being invited to attend an Easter fun day at the Redi Centre in Redditch.

The event has been put on by Redditch Borough Council and is supported by the Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA).

On Saturday, March 28 between 1.30 and 3.30pm a range of activities will be taking place including an Easter egg hunt, face painting and a bouncy castle.  

Local CLAPA volunteer Selena Foster, who has organised the event and set up the local support group Redditch Happy Faces after her daughter was born with a cleft lip and palate, said: “When Lorena was born we had so many questions and I really wanted to meet with other parents in a similar situation.

“I am delighted to have organised the fun day which will provide an opportunity for families affected by cleft of all ages in Redditch and surrounding areas to get together.

“I'm really excited that Redditch Borough Council have so generously donated the funds to make it happen.”
