A TAUNTON funeral director business is helping support families this Easter time.
As Easter approaches, Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors is pleased to announce the launch of an Easter Egg Donation Appeal to spread joy and bring smiles to the elderly residents of local care homes.
This year, the Taunton funeral directors are working to ensure that every resident, especially those who may not have family or loved ones nearby, receives an Easter egg and a thoughtful gesture of kindness.
A spokesperson from Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors said: "A Sweet Gesture of Kindness Easter is a time for renewal, hope, and the joy of new beginnings. However, for many elderly individuals in care homes, the holiday can sometimes feel like just another day.
"Nigel K Ford is aiming to change that by gathering donations of Easter eggs and distributing them to residents in local care homes. With your help, we can brighten their day with a small yet meaningful gesture, showing them they are loved and remembered."
How You Can Help
Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors are asking for the community’s support through donations of chocolate Easter eggs in various sizes, as well as monetary contributions to allow them to purchase eggs in bulk. Here are the different ways you can get involved:
1. Donate Easter Eggs:
Drop off your donations of chocolate Easter eggs at Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors 45 Station Road, Taunton, TA1 1NZ and Nigel K Ford Funeral Directors North End, Creech St Michael TA3 5EB.
2. Personalised Notes and Cards:
The spokesperson added: "Along with the Easter eggs, we encourage you to include a personal note or card to brighten a resident’s day. A few kind words can make a huge impact."
3. Spread the Word:
Share this appeal with friends, family, and colleagues. The more people who know about it, the more residents can be supported.
Donation Deadline:
All donations must be received by April 11 to ensure they are delivered to the care homes in time for Easter Sunday.
The spokesperson added: "Supporting Our Local Community Easter is about coming together, and this appeal is a wonderful opportunity for our community to show compassion and generosity.
"Many residents of care homes may not have the chance to celebrate Easter with family, so this initiative serves as a reminder that they are not forgotten and that they are part of a caring community. 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.”
