Almost 300 pamper packs were "made with love" by Bare Necessities volunteers and handed to children and young people to give to their mothers on Mother's Day.
Mothers, who wouldn't otherwise have received anything, were surprised with the gifts which contained a selection including makeup, perfume, nail varnish and other beauty products.
The campaign, now in its third year, donated packs to women's abuse centres, refuges, schools and youth clubs in the East Cheshire and the South Manchester area.
One recipient, Bideford Community Centre, commented, "All our ladies got a little treat today courtesy of Bare Necessities and everyone smiled and laughed and forgot any troubles for a few hours"
Diane Smith, Trustee of Bare Necessities, explained, " With 11.9%* of youngsters in the area living in poverty, many children will have potentially been unable to give their mother a token of their appreciation."
Bare Necessities work closely with charities to help some of these children make their mother feel special on their day with a pamper pack but couldn't do this without the generous donations from the public.
Any unwanted makeup and toiletries, full sized or minis can be dropped off into our donation boxes all year round, box locations can be found on the website. Alternatively, you can donate online via the www.bntoiletrybank.org.
