Easter Egg Appeal 2026!

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.

Joy from Referrals!

Hello! For those of you who don’t know me, my name’s Abigail and I’m the intern at Operation Orphan! Part of my role is that, once a week, I go out on referrals with our amazing Forget-Me-Notts Installation team, helping tackle bed poverty across Nottingham. All of our referrals are amazing to experience but we had one last week that really stuck with me.

A Big Thank you!

We would like to give a huge thank you to a donor who came to our office last week with an extremely generous donation of lots of brand-new bedding for Forget-Me-Notts!
