On Thursday 14th April 2022 the Mad Hatter, Alice & White Rabbit were around Derwent & Chaddesden distributing wonderful Easter Eggs to local children – donated by Rolls Royce, Alstom and friends of Revive. In the end we had 675 donations, which was amazing – we ran a Facebook competition to guess the number donated, and we had nearly 120 entries – with the winner being just three off.
The focus was to cover areas of highest need; with many families struggling to cover the cost of basic necessities, then an Easter Egg was a treat that many would not have been able to justify.
Some of the Facebook comments from parents:
“My little man got so excited shouting that the Easter Bunny was here. Absolutely made his day, even through his shyness.”
“Fabulous work”
“Thank you so much”
