FAQs

Why are you doing this?

To show intentional acts of kindness at Easter – kindness that helps start new conversations, strengthen friendships and release fresh hope across our local communities – everyone can join in and play their part. I believe that we’re all ‘designed for kindness’ and that the giving of a small gift such as an Easter Egg could be a catalyst to change someone’s life or situation

I don’t want to give chocolate, what else can I do?

Excellent question. We don’t want anyone to be left out. If you prefer not to hand out chocolate, why not give an Easter card, a toy, small gift or treat. Be creative!

What are the origins of Easter eggs? 

Eggs have been used throughout the ages, initially as a symbol of new life, purity or fertility and later provided a symbol of resurrection and new life. The custom of decorating and colouring eggs dates back to the Middle Ages, papier-mâché eggs to the 18th century and then the first chocolate eggs appeared in the 19th century, with the earliest ones being completely solid.
