A CHARITY has called on youngsters to tell them why their mums are amazing this Mother's Day.

The ‘Moment for Mum’ campaign invites children to download a poster from Rainbow Trust Children's Charity website.

They are then asked to colour it in and write a few words explaining why they think their mum is so amazing ahead of Mother's Day on Sunday, March 11.

Youngsters are then invited to share a photo of them with their poster on social media tagging in Rainbow Trust using the hashtag #MomentforMum.

Rainbow Trust enables families who have a child with a life threatening illness to make the most of their time together.

The charity pairs each family with an expert family support worker who helps them at home, in hospital and in the community.

It has nine care teams of family support workers covering the North East, the North West, the South West, Southampton, Essex and Greater London.

Oonagh Goodman, director of marketing and fundraising at Rainbow Trust said: “We would love children up and down the country to get involved with Rainbow Trust’s Moment for Mum Campaign and share their special reasons for why their mum is so special."

Children can download a poster by visiting rainbowtrust.org.uk/moment-for-mum,
