IT TAKES A VILLAGE, CRYSTAL PALACE

FIVE years of It Takes a Village!

We can't quite believe it - our wonderful parents community is turning 5, and we want to celebrate with ALL of you!

Sunday 21st June

1.30pm – 4.30pm

Penge East Community Centre

Join us for a very special Family Fun Day packed with baby and toddler friendly activities and chance to raise a glass and connect with the wonderful families of ITAV past and present.

With something for everyone, indoors AND outdoors (yes, we've got gazebos if the British weather has other ideas! ) here's a taste of what's in store..

Music

Village fete-style garden games

Arts, crafts & Face Painting

Baby area with cosy rugs and toys

Bubbles (because obviously!)

Refreshments including tea, coffee, cake and baby/toddler-friendly snacks

Raffle with fab prizes up for grabs donated by local businesses!

AND because it's also Father's Day, we've got extra special treats for the dads and grandads too including Cold Beers to enjoy in the garden, PLUS

The opportunity to reserve your spot for a parent/carer and baby or family portrait sketched live by professional award winning artist Carys Wright, as a truly one-of-a-kind gift! Just make sure to select a portrait reservation when you book - only 15 spots available! (Portraits start from £20, payable on the day).

This day is for every one of the wonderful families who make up this community. Five years of showing up for each other and making our village a truly special thing to be part of. Whether you were one of the original ITAV crew, completely new to us, or somewhere in between, let's celebrate together!

ITAV is a not for profit social enterprise. This event is a fundraiser with every penny helping to keep our wonderful free & donation based peer support groups running for future generations. Thank you for giving generously!

We can't wait to see you there!
