Share the Joy this Easter with the Mersey Cares’ Egg Appeal!
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve launching our first Mersey Cares Easter Egg appeal to spread some love and chocolatey cheer to children in care accessing our services across Sefton, Knowsley, Liverpool and St Helens.
It follows the success of our Secret Santa Appeal, which enabled us to buy gifts and vouchers for children in care across the region who may not otherwise have received anything.
Many children and young people arrive to our teams with very little.
Approximately 1,000 children enter our Children in Care services each year; some arrive with nothing but a black bin bag holding few possessions due to their circumstances. This can be an incredibly scary time for children.
Your support in enabling is to help them means so much. A simple chocolate egg can crack a big smile and bring joy to a child in need or facing challenging circumstances – a reminder that they’re valued and in people’s thoughts.
For a little as £1.50 you can buy a child an Easter Egg via our online appeal donation page, or you can drop one off at one of four Mersey Care collection points in Sefton, Liverpool, St Helens or Knowsley.
