Two North Somerset business partners have created a Mother's Day gift calendar aimed at boosting wellbeing, and also raising funds for a mental health charity.
Friends Helen Sharp, from Claverham, and Celia Mead, run a company called Blues at Bay. They came up with the idea for the calendar during the first lockdown in March 2020, and plan to make a £1 donation to MIND for each one they sell.
The fully recyclable calendar has 14 doors with a variety of daily encouragements behind, including an activity, suggestion and an inspiring quote.
Helen said: “The activities are suitable for all mums out there and based on the NHS-approved ‘five ways to wellbeing’ - connect, be active, learn, take notice and give.
“We want to help people send a gift to their mothers this year, that as well as being just a lovely thing to receive, actually helps wellbeing in a gentle way during restrictions."
