Positive start for The Haven

It was organised chaos at The Haven’s open day with families turning up in large numbers to take a look at the new facility.

Volunteers from The Mums Clique have reinvented Rotary House at 4 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Silverdale (opposite the park and ride), turning it into a haven of support and nurturing for mums (HM November 4).

A large number of dads and grandparents were also at the open day.

Kids flocked to the bake sale, bouncy castle and play area while the recycle boutique did brisk trade.

The children ranged in age from one-week old Matilda Joy Mason to toddlers and their older siblings.

Mums Clique founder Abbey Fouche said it was a very exciting and positive start to see so many people.

“Feedback has been great,” she said. “And it’s going to get even better – we are just getting started.”

The Haven, operated by The Mums Clique, provides a hub for mothers including playgroups, information, support and education.
