A round up of Mother’s Day fundraising ideas

With this Sunday being Mother's Day, here is a short round up of some of the ways gifts are helping to raise funds for good causes.   Thortful & NHS Charities Together This Mother’s Day thortful is celebrating 'The Mother of the Nation', the NHS. The online card company is donating 5p per Mother’s Day card sale and £5 of every Tulip Rainbow Bouquet sold to NHS Charities Together (NHSCT), a charity which provides funds and support to the NHS and its frontline workers and volunteers every day. NHS frontline workers have also created Mother’s Day cards to raise money for NHSCT. Thortful set itself a target of raising £110,000 for the charity – and has already exceeded that.    BHF’s Heart of Steel BHF is offering to engrave names on a metal heart sculpture for Mother’s Day. The Heart of Steel is a sculpture in Yorkshire with space to engrave 150,000 names. It’s part of the wider Steel Man project, a future landmark that will overlook Sheffield, and the Heart will eventually be included inside the 32-metre Steel Man.  For £20 you can have a name engraved on BHF’s Heart of Steel and help it continue to fund life saving research. You can add up to two dates next to a name - such as birth, death or marriage, and you'll be sent a printed certificate of your engraving.   https://twitter.com/cftrust/status/1369264229702918146 Prestige Flowers for charity Prestige Flowers is offering a range of bouquets for Mother’s Day that donate 25% of the price to charity: depending on the bouquet either Cancer Research UK, Barnardo’s or Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

It also has some for dads too, for Father’s Day.   https://twitter.com/HomeStartBFW/status/1367935204850102278 Easyfundraising &  Notonthehighstreet £500 giveaway For this Mother's Day, Easyfundraising and Notonthehighstreet are giving people the chance to win a £500 donation for a charity.
