Mother’s Day fundraising round up: gifts that give back

With Mother's Day falling this Sunday, and many people not able to get together due to the coronavirus, here is a round up of some of the gift ideas on offer that not only benefit charities but can be sent remotely.   Clothing retailer Peacocks is raising money for Make-A-Wish® UK this Mother's Day.  Fronted by TV star Scarlett Moffatt, her mum Betty and her grandmother Christine, Peacocks’ ‘Marvellous Mums’ collection is a nightwear range of starry printed robes, nightdresses and pyjamas in deep blue. Prices range from £7 for the cami top to £15 for the dressing gown, with 15% of each sale being donated to Make-A-Wish® UK. The collection launched in stores on 6 March and is also available online at www.peacocks.co.uk.   With many unable to spend Mother’s Day with their mums on Sunday, Hamper.com has launched Sunday delivery for the first time. The company is also donating 5% of all sales of Mother’s Day hampers and gifts to food banks and charities that help the homeless and most vulnerable.   https://twitter.com/ChaileyHeritage/status/1240684943954432001 Easyfundraising is doing a Mother’s Day Giveaway in partnership with Notonthehighstreet.

It is asking people to help donate to help a woman and her children escaping domestic abuse.
