Lorraine Williams organised a raising awareness day at Broadstairs over the Bank Holiday weekend and raised £373 for the Trust. Lorraine and a group of volunteers stopped to chat with people as they walked around the town and offered information, books and merchandise, including kites and badges for children.
There was a mid-afternoon trip to the Havisham and Cratchit café at Bleak House, where butterfly cakes were on sale in aid of the Trust. The day finished with the Butterfly Ball at the bandstand – two hours of dancing to music from DJs Jonny Henfrey and Teresa Askew.
Lorraine Williams, the charity’s co-founder and editor of the Broadstairs Beacon, said: “Although we are raising awareness of a serious topic, it is always a really lovely day and huge fun.
“We have our regular fundraisers who come every year but new people also come along and I see people making friends, which is so great. Having a support network of people who can understand what you’re experiencing is really valuable."
