How your support helps
This Christmas, we’re aiming to raise £3,600, enough to provide 10 mums with the tailored support they need. Every donation, big or small, makes a real impact!
How to donate
Donating is simple! Click the ‘Donate Now’ button and help us continue supporting families in 2025 and beyond, every pound makes a difference.
Join the Star Jump Challenge
Looking for a fun and festive way to get involved? Take part in our Star Jump Challenge:
1. Do 1 minute of star jumps for the 12 days leading up to Christmas and share your journey on social media.
2. Accumulate minutes of Star Jumps each day. Between 13th and 24th December you’ll try increasing the minutes of Star Jumps you do. Start with 1 minute on the 13th, 2 minutes on the 14th, and so on … all the way up to 12 minutes on the 24th! You can try to make the minutes continuous or break them up throughout the day.
3. Tag and challenge 3 friends to join in!
Share this JustGiving page (or create your own) so anyone inspired by your challenge can donate and support Mummy’s Star.
Meet the families you’re helping
“Mummy’s Star have been absolutely amazing- they provided support when I didn’t know where to turn and have understood me in a way no one else can as having just had a baby and then being diagnosed with cancer I was utterly lost and they just got it.”
Your generosity ensures that families like this receive the support they need, exactly when they need it most.
