Council staff and councillors across Sandwell have shown tremendous generosity this spring by donating over 1,300 Easter eggs to ensure children and young people in need received a gift this easter.
Easter appeal
Following the success of last year’s Christmas toy appeal, Sandwell Children’s Trust put out a call for donations once again. Easter eggs, soft toys, arts and crafts kits and other thoughtful items were donated to support local families who might otherwise go without.
Donations were collected until Friday 4 April 2025 and delivered to the Wellman Building, ready to be distributed by social workers ahead of the Easter weekend.
Jackie Hodgkins, Communications Manager from Sandwell’s Childrens Trust said ” Once again, we were delighted to receive such overwhelming support for our annual Easter Egg Appeal. The generosity from companies and individuals is always remarkable and we would like to re-iterate our thanks to everyone who got involved.
As a result of the vast amount of Easter Eggs and Easter related art and craft gifts, 1000’s of our children and young people had a very Happy Easter and really appreciated all their treats. Thanks again for your support and we look forward to working with you in preparation for our Christmas Appeal 2025!
Making a real difference
These donations are more than just gifts, they help bring moments of joy and normality to children in difficult circumstances. Many of the eggs went to children who would otherwise not have received anything at all.
Sandwell Council and Sandwell Children’s Trust would like to thank everyone who donated, you helped support children and families across the borough.
