Musical Minis South Wales raised an amazing £500 to help support one of its members, whilst celebrating its tenth anniversary with a party extravaganza.
About 300 people, including children, mums, dads and grandparents, came together for the celebration and raised the impressive sum for Brainwave, a charity that provides support and therapy for two-year-old Ffion Harrison, with £100 going directly to her.
Ffion attends classes in Barry and was born with a rare genetic arrangement, shared by only a handful of people in the world, which means she has significant developmental and learning disabilities. South Wales Musical Minis franchisee, Jo Weaving, said: “Ffion thoroughly enjoys Musical Minis. It’s wonderful to see her face light up when she hears the music and plays the instruments. Brainwave is a therapy centre that Ffion attends to help with her development. With their support and expertise she is continuing to thrive and remains a very happy little girl.”
Rob and I went to the Musical Minis South Wales ten year anniversary party and it was wonderful to see so many people joining in with the songs, parachute, instruments and of course the Hokey Cokey. There was also a visit from Mickey Mouse.
It was lovely to meet so many past and present Musical Minis members. A special thank you to Jo who planned the day brilliantly and made it so enjoyable for so many people.
Jo said: “We had a fab party. I really love running my Musical Minis business. It’s a privilege to work with the mums, dads and children of this area.
I particularly enjoy seeing how individual children develop after they’ve been coming to our classes for a while, the difference can be quite dramatic. I’d like to thank my team of teachers and assistants, I really couldn’t do it without them and they should be very proud of the job that they do, they’re first class.”
