🄚🐣 Share the Joy this Easter with the Mersey Cares’ Egg Appeal! šŸ°šŸŒø 

This Easter, we want to spread some love and chocolatey cheer to looked after children accessing our children and young people’s services. That’s why we’re launching our Eggs-tra Special Easter Egg Appeal – and we need your help! 

Many children and young people arrive to our teams with very little. 

Approximately 1,000 Children enter our Children in Care services each year; some of these children carry nothing but a black bin bag with very little in it to carry due to their circumstances, which may be a scary time for children. 

Your support means so much. simple chocolate egg can crack a big smile and bring joy to a child in need or facing challenging circumstances – a reminder that they’re valued and in people’s thoughts.

If we exceed our target for the Easter Egg Appeal 2026, any excess funds will be allocated to support the Children in Care Fund to allow for further essentials and gifts that can support children in care accross Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Knowsley.
