🐣🌷 Easter Egg Appeal 🌷🐣
We’re getting ready for our Easter Chocolate Bingo, and we need your help to create egg‑cellent chocolate prizes 🧺🍫
We’re appealing for Easter Eggs and chocolate treats to use as prizes for the event. All donations will be used specifically for our Easter Chocolate Bingo bingo prizes and raffle, in line with current UK fundraising guidance, which says donations must be used for the purpose stated.
If we’re lucky enough to receive more than we need, any surplus treats may be used to support other hospice fundraising activities—this is our secondary purpose, as encouraged in charitable appeal wording guidance.
What we need:
🍫 Easter Eggs (all sizes)
🍬 Chocolate bars, boxes & treats
🌱 Free‑from or allergy‑friendly options are especially appreciated! 2
📍 Drop‑off: Great Oaks Hospice reception, during our usual opening hours.
📞 Contact: 01594 811910

Every egg donated helps us raise vital funds while bringing joy to our community. Thank you for your generosity and kindness! 💚🐰
