Easter egg hunt raises over £1,200 for centre
A
n Easter egg hunt organised by a local charity which provides support to people living with neurological conditions has raised over £1,200. To keep local families entertained outdoors over the Easter holidays, The Brightwell, based in Wheatfield Drive, organised an Easter egg hunt around Bradley Stoke. Residents and local businesses very kindly sponsored eggs that were displayed in their windows and four colour-coded trail maps were designed taking families all over Bradley Stoke. Each egg had a letter on it for children to find and help solve Easter messages. One family who took part in the Easter egg hunt commented: “The trails have provided so much family fun for us: lots and lots of walking, but we really enjoyed it. Thank you so much
for arranging this.” Sales of the trail maps together with income from the Easter egg sponsors raised over £1,200 for the charity. Claire Wingate, community fundraiser at The Brightwell, told us how lovely it had been to host an event for our local families: “Our local children definitely deserved a fun activity to keep them busy during the Easter holidays. Meeting lots of smiley and excited faces when the children came to collect their eggs was the highlight of the Easter Egg Hunt for me.” “The Brightwell would like to thank everyone from the local community for their support. It has made such a huge difference to our centre to enable us to continue to provide life-changing therapies to our members living with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, stroke, chronic
fatigue and cerebral palsy.” The Brightwell is now planning an exciting adventure for families to enjoy over the summer holidays. Watch this space!
