Ideas for your company’s Mothers Day Celebration
Mother’s Day is only a couple of months away (14th May 2023), and it’s time to start thinking about how your company can celebrate the working mothers amongst your employees. Not only is it a great opportunity to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of these women, but it’s also a chance to give back to the community.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Team building event
Rally the troops for a Barnardos working bee or book a day out with the kids excursion both lovely activities in the lead up to Mothers Day.
A working bee involves a variety of tasks such as painting, gardening, and general maintenance at our Centre’s and facilities. It’s a great opportunity for your employees to work together as a team, get their hands dirty, and make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.
For most of us, childhood was the most carefree part of our lives, but for thousands of Aussie children, it can be the hardest. A ‘day out with the kids’ can provide these children with a special opportunity to alleviate the anxiety and stress of everyday challenges and enjoy some easy-going fun! For instance, trips can include a visit to the Zoo or Aquarium.
Donation drive
Organise a donation drive for the women supported by Barnardos and encourage employees to bring in items such as toiletries, clothing, and toys which can make a positive difference in the lives of these women and their families.
Fundraising event
Host a fundraising high tea or a raffle to raise funds for Barnardos’ Domestic Violence support programs. Encourage attendees to donate in honour of the working mothers in your company.
An activity for your industry
Why not get innovative and create your own activity that aligns with your product or engages your industry?
sass & bide celebrates Barnardos with an annual campaign and look out for the exciting 2023 launch, coming very soon! This year’s limited-edition sweater is launching on Tuesday 18th April, available both in store and online. Secure yours before they sell out!
By celebrating the working mothers in your company, you can show them how much you value their contributions, while also making a positive impact in the lives of those in need. So, start planning your Mother’s Day activities today, and make it a day to remember!
