#  SheerLuxe X mothers2mothers Afternoon Tea  


Here at SheerLuxe, we’re big supporters of women's rights in all shapes and forms – so when we heard of mothers2mothers’ Wonder Women Afternoon Tea, we jumped at the chance to host one for ourselves and invite all of the wonderful women we know. Every charity for a good cause but as a team of women with several mothers we felt compelled to support the incredible work mothers2mothers do. Here’s what happened at our Wonder Women Tea at Petersham Nurseries.

**When?**  
  
The SheerLuxe X mothers2mothers event was held on Wednesday 7th November.  
  
**Where?**  
  
The afternoon tea took place at the newly-opened Petersham Nurseries in Covent Garden. The sophisticated, family-run spot serving modern European fare has an exquisite a la carte menu, and an even better afternoon tea.

 

 

 

**Who went?**  
  
Former *Tatler* Editor and Little Circle Founder Anna Bromilow; The London Mummy blogger Chloe Samwell-Smith; fashion journalist Antonia O’Brien; Mother of All Lists curator Clemmie Telford; Does My Bum Look 40 blogger Kat Farmer; food journalist and SheerLuxe columnist Esther Coren; The Fashion Bug blogger Laura Wills; The Fashion Lift blogger Fran Bacon; Pampelone Clothing Founder Holly Scarsella; fashion stylist Kavita Cola; Mercer 7 Founder Erna Leon; TV presenter Naomi Isted; TV and SheerLuxe show presenter Olivia Wayne; interior designer Sophie Paterson; Style Memos blogger Alexis Foreman; The Fashionable Pan blogger Debbie Le; We Are Twinset blogger Philippa Bloom; Wear and Where blogger Natasha Poliszczuk; and fashion and beauty blogger Tijan Serena Mazour.  
  
**Hosted by…**  
  
SheerLuxe Founder &amp; Edior Georgie Coleridge Cole and Zoë Elliott, Events Manager at mother2mothers.  
  
**What they ate…**  
  
Created by Damian Clisby and the Petersham’s Head Chef Joseph Fox, the afternoon tea changes seasonally. New for this autumn, the ladies dined on the likes of milk bun sandwiches and scones, plus Italian *dolci* of crisp cannoli and warm *bombolini* (Italian doughnuts), served alongside a number of botanical tea-infused cocktails including elderflower, chamomile, cardamom and rose.  
  
**Why they were there…**  
  
To celebrate the mothers2mothers charity, who train, employ and empower mothers living with HIV to bring health and hope to mothers and their families. Every day, 250 babies die from HIV, but with the right education and access to medication we can help prevent transmission of HIV from a pregnant woman to her child. Mothers2mothers currently help women in eight different countries, with 2.3m women and family members currently enrolled in the programme, and 195,000 adolescent girls and young women benefitting from m2m services directly in 2017. In fact, over 1,000 HIV-positive women were employed by the charity last year as peer mentors to other women.  
   
**How you can get involved…**  
  
There are a number of ways you can help mothers2mothers, from marathon sponsorship to attending a fundraiser to a simple donation. But holding your own Wonder Women Afternoon Tea – just like the SL team did – is the perfect chance to celebrate the women in your life whilst also supporting the charity. Whether it’s a cup of tea, cocktails or never-ending slices of cake, your afternoon tea could help support their Mentor Mothers and the clients they help. All you have to do is choose a date, sign up at <community@m2m.org>, and decide what cakes to make and which friends to bring.
