The annual Easter fundraiser is turned into a fun online activity.
The Francis House Great Didsbury Easter Chick Hunt sponsored by Towers Manchester returns to a ‘virtual’ street near you!
The annual trail of shops and venues through the streets of Didsbury Village is being replaced by a family-friendly interactive game and quiz.
Twenty chicks hidden in a virtual map each reveal a clue about the hospice and players can test their memory in multiple choice quiz which is £3 to enter.
Anyone taking part in the quiz before April 30, will be entered into a prize draw and in with the chance of winning a hamper full of Easter treats.
Karen Flower of Francis House said: “We devised an online version of our annual Easter Chick Hunt so that no matter where families live, they can take part and support the hospice.
“This way we can safely ask all of our supporters to get involved and still help to promote the shops and businesses that are local to the hospice.”
All proceeds from the quiz will go towards providing care to more than 500 families of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
The Francis House Chick Hunt kindly sponsored by Towers Manchester and supported by the Didsbury Traders, runs until 30th April.
