SPENDING quality time with the whole family is most important to nine out of 10 mums in Greater Manchester.

A survey, carried out by children's cancer charity CLIC, also said cuddles every day were very important to most mums, as well as playing together, baking, and eating together.

The survey helped launch the charity's Yummy Mummy Moments, which aims to raise money to fund mums staying in self-catering units near to the hospitals where their children are being treated for leukaemia.

Between September 13 and 20, mums are being encouraged to organise events such as barbecues, picnics or dinner parties to raise money.
