Ashington bakery offering free pastries to single mums this Mother’s Day

An Ashington bakery is making a special gesture this Mother’s Day by offering free treats to single mums.

In the UK there are around 3.2 million single-parent families, with the large majority being headed by mothers, according to the Office for National Statistics.

As a way to recognise single mums who often spend Mother’s Day juggling childcare, work and responsibilities without being treated themselves, Bakery79 in Ashington will be giving away free Yum Yums.

A spokesperson for Bakery79 said: “Mother’s Day can sometimes be a little quieter for single mums who are busy looking after everyone else. We wanted to do something simple to recognise them and hopefully brighten their day with a small treat.”

Single mums can redeem their free Yum Yum at Bakery79 on Newbiggin Road this Sunday, March 15 between 8am and 4pm, while stocks last.
