Top Tips for Mother's Day

Mum carrying boyShow mum how much she means this Mothering Sunday by treating her to a happy, heart healthy day.

Breakfast in bed

Help the kids surprise mum with breakfast in bed. Sign up to our free Heart Matters service for recipes for these healthy suggestions:

A gift from the heart

Chocolates are high in fat and full of calories, so consider a heart friendly alternative gift for your mum instead. 

Cook for the day

If you're on a budget, the perfect treat for any hardworking mum is preparing her a healthy heart-warming meal. Our recipe finder will give you and your family all the ideas you need with more than a hundred suggestions. Don't forget to do the washing up though!

Have fun together

Plan a fun activity together that you know your mum will enjoy, such as a dance class or a gentle walk to enjoy the spring blooms. Not only will you have fun together but you'll be keeping fit too. For suggestions of activities to take part in throughout the year, check out our events.

Dine out in healthy style

A slap up meal out can be a lovely way of saying thank you. But eating out doesn't have to mean eating unhealthily. For ideas on how to make your dining out a healthy experience, see our Eating Well booklet.

Get aware

Women are affected by heart disease just as much as men. Take care of your mum - learn to recognise the symptoms of heart disease in women, and find out how women can protect themselves against heart disease.
