  • 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. We 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

We very much hope that you will carefully consider to whom each egg is given and not be in a rush to move on! The focus is on quality time not just quantity…

  • What came first the chicken or the egg?

Ha! Cheeky – did you really ask this? Well it’s the million dollar question and if we knew that we’d be giving eggs to the WHOLE world this Easter. Next year!

  • I don’t eat chocolate (or, my neighbour doesn’t eat chocolate), what else can I do?

Excellent question. We don’t want anyone to be left out. If you know that the person you intend to give to has some form of food allergy why not consider giving an Easter card, toy or another small gift.

  • 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.
