MUM Helena Mueller raised more than �1,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital on Wednesday when she held a fund raising activity day at the Oliver Cromwell Hotel in March.

Helena said: “We had a really wonderful day, with more than 100 people attending.” The fun included a ball pit, pottery decorating, hair and beauty demonstrations, and the sale of everything from cup cakes to jewellery.

When Helena first planned the event, she had the idea of running a small simple pottery party, but she received so much support that the event turned into an action packed event with a huge raffle.
