As we approach Easter, we know that lots of our fabulous supporters like to collect and donate Easter eggs for children currently in hospital. This gesture, while kind, often means we are inundated with surplus eggs!

This year, we're asking our supporters to consider instead donating the cost of one or two eggs to our Easter appeal, to help us fund other support for children in hospital such as crafts and activities, play leader roles, and our family support team. This way, we can make sure we have all the resources we need to make the hospital a fun and happy environment around Easter.

Even a donation of a few pounds would be so appreciated; days in hospital can be long and repetitive, so funding our other areas of support is absolutely essential.

Don't worry, we'll make sure all the children staying in hospital will get an Easter egg!

Making a donation simply means that we're able to allocate much-needed resources in other areas which will help to make the hospital a more enjoyable environment and ensure children and families are well supported.
