TARA Annual Street Party 2025

It was a gorgeous sunny Tuesday afternoon for the street party in Gertrude Street – a typical English summer day.  The Ten Acres Residents Association (TARA) provides a useful source of information for residents living in the Ten Acres area in Chelsea, SW10 and this year they kindly agreed to donate all funds raised from the entry tickets and raffle to support WLAC’s therapeutic stay-and-play group, CAMEO. There was certainly a variety stalls to choose from:  Caricaturist, Raffle, Hog Roast, Refreshments, Kids activities, music and ice cream!  

We had a small table to talk with brochures and leaflets and were ready to talk about our work and displayed our merchandise.  Our parent-infant psychotherapists and group facilitator, Yvonne spoke about our CAMEO (come and meet each other) programme and how grateful our clients are for having a safe play space to help connect with their little ones, but also connect with other parents in similar stages of their parenting journey. 

A huge thank you to Richard West and TARA for their thoughtfulness and generosity in choosing to support our organisation, and who worked so hard to bring everything together. Your generosity will enable us to continue to support families living in Chelsea & Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham.
