Play 2 Give Easter appeal

Karen Neville

Andrew Baker invites you to help deliver joy by donating to help children in hospital and other families in need. Could you support Play 2Give’s fifth Easter appeal by donating eggs?

Didcot charity Play2Give has been changing, transforming, and saving lives across Oxfordshire for two decades. 

Now Play2Give is collecting Easter eggs to deliver to the Children’s Hospital, siblings and families in the neonatal care unit, both at the John Radcliffe alongside local hospices, local families and people in need. 

This campaign follows the charity’s biggest, best and most successful Sleigh2Give Christmas appeal which saw a record number of toys and gifts than ever before, worth about £70k, in its 10th anniversary.  

The charity, founded by Andrew Baker, will welcome donations until 11th April. Play2Give was created by brain injury survivor Andy and organises year-round events for the community focused on children, health and disability, including its upcoming 14th football tournament.  

Play2Give’s drive last year saw a record 1,300 eggs donated by the community with the charity amassing over 2,500 in total during the appeal’s tenure. 

Young carers, families supported by the Southern Oxfordshire branch of Home-Start and the emergency food bank in Didcot will also benefit from the cracking collection. 

You can donate at Cornerstone Arts Centre, the Civic Hall, Dunelm and Berro Lounge all in Didcot, The Lambourn on Abingdon business park with several more you can find at play2give.org.uk/easter-appeal, or just donate money here.
