Easter Appeal 2020

Give a little 'Eggstra' this Easter and show 'somebunny' you care!

Easter can be a difficult time for anybody, increased winter fuel costs, recovering form Christmas expenditure, unforeseen family crisis, etc.  The strain on Food Banks around Easter is continuing to grow year on year and its a time where many donations start to dry up after the busy festive period.
 
This year we are launching our first Easter Appeal -  From the 2nd March until 8th April 2020. 
Our Easter Appeal covers both General giving and those who are part of Schools, Organisations and Community Groups. Please see below more details on both these appeals.
This Easter please take the decision to 'give a little eggstra and show somebunny you care!
