Councillor Lis Every’s event is due to be held on July 18 from 10am–4pm at the Cathedral Centre.2

Cllr Every said: “Last year I chose to support EACH as my chosen charity. In my second year as mayor I have pledged to support a range of local charities and I am very happy to continue to support EACH by hosting this event.

“As a charity EACH does wonderful work across Cambridgeshire caring for children and young people with life-threatening conditions.

“It’s the perfect way to break up your shopping trip with friends, enjoy a family trip out or just to come along with a good book.”

Lucy Glover, EACH Cambridgeshire fund-raiser, said: “We are thrilled that Cllr Every has chosen to support us during her term as mayor. This tea and coffee morning is a lovely way to celebrate and we hope lots of people will come along to support the day.”
