An Easter egg donation appeal has been launched to bring joy to Somerset care home residents.
Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors hopes to ensure each resident receives a chocolate egg this Easter, particularly those without nearby family or loved ones.
The aim is to turn what could be a typical day for many into a time of hope and joy.
The funeral directors are calling on the community to help by donating Easter eggs of any size, or even making monetary contributions to help buy eggs in bulk.
As well as Easter eggs, people are encouraged to include personal notes or cards with their donations.
These will be distributed to care home residents.
A spokesperson for the appeal said: "This simple act of kindness can make a huge difference in the lives of those who may feel isolated or overlooked.
"We encourage everyone to join us in making this Easter a little brighter for those who need it most."
Donations of Easter eggs can be dropped off at the funeral directors' branches at 45 Station Road, Taunton, TA1 1NZ or North End, Creech St Michael, TA3 5EB.
All donations need to be received by Friday, April 11 to ensure delivery to care homes by Easter Sunday.
