Sunbury’s Gumboots Early Learning Centre is doing its bit to raise money for the Good Friday Appeal.
The centre will be hosting a five-day market, offering silent auctions and items for sale, with funds going towards the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal on April 2.
The centre’s educational leader Corrine Brown said the market will have children’s artwork and local goods and services up for grabs.
“We will be holding multiple silent auctions that include a family photo shoot, artificial flower arrangements and somebody to mow your lawn,” she said.
“We will have our own items to purchase … such as children’s art work, clay sculpture and fresh chicken eggs. We are also accepting cash donations and we will have [donatio] tins at the market.”
“All items donated will be coming from our families at Gumboots Early. Learning and the Sunbury business community.”
The centre hopes to raise $500 for the appeal across the five-day market.
Ms Brown said the work the Royal Children’s Hospital provided was incredible.
“Working with children, we know how vulnerable they can be,” she said.
“The work the Royal Children’s Hospital does to support families and children, regardless of their circumstances … is super important.
The market will be held between March 22-26 at 730 Elizabeth Drive, Sunbury, 6.30am-6.30pm.
