In the last few years we have been absolutely blown away with the incredible amounts of Easter Eggs that have been donated to both the Children's Ward here at Yeovil District Hospital and the wider wards.

We are incredibly grateful to be in a position to receive these wonderful gifts and could not be more thankful for the generosity of our wonderful supporters. However, due to the number of eggs we receive being in the high hundreds, we no longer have the space to store them, nor the capacity to distribute them to the patients of the hospital.

This is why this year, we have launched our very first Easter Appeal, this way we can take donations for the Children's Ward rather than physical Easter Eggs or other gifts.

This is to save the valuable room on the wards for important medical equipment and will supply the ward with the vital funds for any new equipment or brand new toys to distract the children during procedures and their time at the hospital.
