This springtime, we want to spread some love and chocolatey cheer to children in care accessing our services across Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Knowsley.
That’s why we’re launching our Eggs-tra Special Easter Egg Appeal – and we need your help! Check out the attached poster for more information.
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 few possessions due to their circumstances, which can be an incredibly scary time for them.
Your support means so much. A small chocolate egg can crack a big smile, spreading joy to a child in need or facing challenging times—a heartfelt reminder that they are valued and appreciated.
How you can help:
It’s egg-stremely easy to get involved!
Donate - A donation of as little as £1.50 will allow us to purchase a chocolate egg for a child in care, or,
Drop off: Alternatively, drop off a new, unopened Easter egg at one of our collection points across the Trust - every egg counts!

This appeal follows the success of our Secret Santa appeal which enabled us to send hundreds of gifts to vulnerable children during the festive period. Mersey Cares, The Mersey Care NHS Charity, is the dedicated charity for Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust (Registration number 1191576).
Thank you for brightening a child’s day! 🥚🐣
