Easter Appeal 2024:
Help Us Spread Joy in the Black Country!
This Easter, Santa's Black Country Toy Appeal is on a mission to bring smiles and joy to children across the Black Country who might otherwise go without. With over 104,000 children facing poverty in our region, the need has never been greater.
Why Easter Eggs? 🍫 Easter eggs symbolise new life and hope, and we believe every child deserves to experience joy and happiness, especially during festive seasons. Our Easter appeal aims to collect and distribute Easter eggs to children in need, ensuring they too can enjoy the magic of Easter.
How Can You Help? 🤝
- Become a Supporter: Join us in making a difference. Every egg, every donation, and every volunteer hour counts.
- Donate Easter Eggs: Drop off your Easter egg donations at our designated points across the Black Country. Visit our website for a full list of drop-off locations.
- Spread the Word: Share this post and tell your friends and family about our Easter appeal. The more people know, the more children we can reach.
Our Impact: đź’– Thanks to the incredible support from our community, donors, and volunteers, we've brought smiles to countless children across the Black Country. Featured on the BBC for our efforts, we're proud of the difference we're making. But there's still more to do.
Our mission, on BBC
With everyone's support, donations and heartfelt kindness, we have supported children, young people and families who need it most. Together we have brought smiles to children across the Black Country and even caught the attention of the BBC.
