We are so excited to announce this year's Easter Egg Appeal! For those of you who may not know, each year we collect Cadbury's medium size Easter eggs (88-95g) to give to social workers and care groups to distribute to the most vulnerable children in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area to help put a smile on their faces this Easter. For many of the children this may be the only Easter gift they receive this year.
