Becoming a mother is undoubtedly one of the most incredible experiences we will have during our lifetime, but the horrifying truth right now is that 1.3 million children under the age of 5 in the UK are born into poverty. 1 in 4 households are regularly running out of money to buy essentials. Like every new parent, taking care of your child becomes your biggest priority yet those living in poverty and uncertainty face the unmanageble task of having to cope without resources, and very often too without the support of family or friends.

This got us thinking, how could Blossom and Bear get involved?

We set up Mother sister to make a difference to mothers in the UK and beyond who need it most. It's a tough thing to know where to begin but we believe every baby born deserves a safe space to sleep so we thought that was a good place to start.

Win a deluxe baby box and help us support mothers in need..
