Local charity launches Easter Eggstravaganza for 8th year

The Henry Allen Trust is running its annual Easter Eggstravaganza appeal for the 8th year and we need your help.

Every year Team Henry visit hospitals in our region delivering Easter eggs, confectionary, arts and crafts and games to children and their families spending Easter in hospital. Can you help The Easter Bunny and Team Henry spread some Henry’s happiness by donating to our Easter Eggstravaganza?

We are looking for local businesses, schools and individuals who would like to support us this Easter. Is this you?

About the Henry Allen Trust:

The Henry Allen Trust was founded in memory of Henry Allen who lost his battle to STAGE 4 HIGH RISK MYCN AMPLIFIED NEUROBLASTOMA, a childhood cancer in October 2013 to bring ‘happiness’ to children and families battling childhood cancer. Dawn, Mark and everyone involved with the trust have worked tirelessly to ensure no family is alone during their journey.

The Henry Allen Trust is there for these families from initial contact, all the way through the rest of their journey, be it treatment, remission or palliative/end of life care and beyond.
