Creme eggs wanted

Thousands of knitted chicks are in need of a creme egg!

box creme eggs filling into knitted chicks — Creme eggs are needed for Easter appeal.

Francis House is appealing for urgent donations of crème eggs to fill thousands of knitted chicks.

The Easter Chick annual fundraiser was hit hard in 2020, due to the closure of schools, offices and shops that helped to sell the cute knitted chicks and bunnies.

Thousands of chicks that were put into storage, are now in need of a crème egg, and the hospice is once again offering them for sale at £1 each.

For donations of creme eggs and ways to help call the fundraising office on 0161 443 2200 or visit Easter Chick Appeal 2021.

The Easter campaign makes a big difference to the charity that has been operating for 30 years and supports more than 500 families from across Greater Manchester.

Donate your creme eggs before Thursday 1st April 2021.

"Although we are not appealing for donations of chicks this year, we do still need Creme Eggs to fill the thousands of empty chicks leftover from last year. Please help if you can."
