Enjoy an afternoon cuppa and scone all for a good cause this Saturday.

The Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Bacchus Marsh is hosting a charity Mother’s Day Devonshire tea afternoon.

All funds raised this year will go to the Salvation Army for its Mum’s in Crisis program.

The church’s Heather Swensen said they were looking forward to the afternoon.

She said they had more than 100 people attend last year and were able to raise a couple of $1000 for the victims of the Exford bus crash.

“We got a new vicar, The Reverend Andrew Gifford, and he wanted to help the community,” Ms Swensen said was behind the fundraisers.

“We would think we would get about 100 people minimum this year, but we’ll put in as many as we can.

“Come along for a scone and bottomless cuppa.”

There will be live music and a hamper raffle.

Entry is $10 for adults and $5for children

It will be held at church hall, on Gisborne Road, between 2pm-4pm
