Over £1000 raised for Love Wavertee's Food Club during Davinia Taylor's inspirational book launch at The Watering Can

Actress turned Sunday Times best selling Author Davinia Taylor enjoyed an afternoon in Liverpool on Friday to celebrate the success of her top selling book ‘It’s Not a Diet’.

Over 80 people attended a book launch event at The Watering Can, Greenbank Park, where Davinia chronicled her journey from being overweight, depressed and unmotivated to the picture of health and happiness she is today.

Davinia opened up about her journey from her wild days in London as part of the Primrose Hill set, to the content wife and mother of four.

The event, organised by Carolyn Hughes PR, in association with top legal firm Astraea Linskills and The Watering Can also raised over £1,000 for Love Wavertree’s Food Club.

Carolyn Hughes said:

“It was one of the most fun and informative events I have had the privilege of being involved with. Davinia is an inspirational, knowledgeable speaker with a wicked sense of humour and an honesty that is truly humbling. She is hugely well respected in the world of wellness and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her”.
