Many parents of little ones are more lonely, overworked and under pressure than ever before. Reach out. Do someone a #LittleGoodDeed. It might just make their day.
From taking a new parent's dog for a walk to dropping off groceries, cupcakes or art supplies, each #LittleGoodDeed you've done has inspired us! If you've helped parents of young children during this difficult time then let us know.
4 weeks until #Easter! Could you donate chocolate eggs to offer to families we're supporting?
Each year parents tell us they've loved being able to give the eggs as gifts to their children.
Think it's a cracking idea? Click here for donation points https://t.co/JdXxYUfD0h

I'm supporting the @LittleGoodDeed campaign, launched in response to reports that more than half of parents/carers of under 5s are struggling but don't feel able to ask for help. Look out for good deeds and ideas for what you can do to support your community #littlegooddeed
Here are some 24 hour helplines if you would like to talk to someone or need urgent support.
