As mother's day is coming up soon on the 30th of March I wanted to post this great idea for a mother's day gift which proved popular last year.

Last year raised £4350 maybe this year we could raise more

Official MoneySavingExpert insert: Maternity Worldwide has said if you want to sponsor a safe birth and send a certificate by post in time for Mother's Day, you need to order by Fri 28 Mar. Delivery’s £1, or you can send a certificate by email for free.

We asked Maternity Worldwide how much of the £15 reaches those in developing countries and it told us it's about 96%, after administration costs.

Thanks to lilmiss1982 for sharing this offer.

DH and the boys always buy me something from the Unicef site which helps mums / kids / families etc. A thoughtful and useful gift.

This is amazing, I have never heard of this, and so much more worthwhile than a bunch of flowers. Thanks OP I am doing this

Thanks, my hubby arranged this for me in 2012 after we had our son and with another baby on the way in a few weeks, I've asked for another this year too.

We're so blessed to have an nhs and the security of professionals and equipment on hand if it's needed and many take it for granted.

A really great cause.....

Will be asking for this from my children this year and every year after, best present ever!
Have shared on fb too

Thanks OP, I also asked for this last year and have asked for it again this year. It was a great feeling last year when I was asked what I got for Mother's Day to be able to say this. (Posting to keep near the top of the listings !)

Agreed its much better than flowers, displaying your certificate help raise further awareness. People saw mine from my boys and commented on what a lovely idea it was. Hopefully they will buy one this year for there mum's.
