Charities Mum's The Boss Support
We are always looking to incorporate fundraising activity into our events. See below for details of which causes we have supported in the past and who we are supporting this year.
2011
Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK
For 2011 we have chosen Make-A-Wish Foundation as our nominated charity. Make-A-Wish is a charity with a single purpose – granting magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. MTB will be holding various fundraising activities throughout the year, so keep an eye out for details. And if you would like to make a donation in the meantime you can visit our JustGiving page. Please help us to make a difference - even if we help just one child and one family it will be worthwhile.
2010
In 2010 we were involved with 2 charities:
Oxfam Unwrapped - Train a Businesswoman
www.oxfam.org.uk
Our target for this year was to raise enough money is to pay to train 52 business women in developing countries around the world.
Million Mums Campaign
www.millionmums.org
The Million Mums Campaign is run by The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood. Every minute of every day, a woman dies of pregnancy related complications, totaling more than one half million women each year. The aim of the Million Mums campaign is simple: Sign up a million people to speak out against the needless deaths of women in pregnancy and childbirth around the world. So if you are lucky enough to be a mum who has had a happy and healthy pregnancy, then maybe you would like to join the campaign too and donate £1 or more to help prevent children all over the world being born without a mum to take care of them.
2009
In 2009 we supported the following charities by holding a number of fundraising events, including coffee mornings and raffles, and by donating underwear!
MacMillan Cancer Support
Underwear Appeal to help Women in Zimbabwe avoid Sexual Abuse
Keech Cottage Children's Hospice
