Burton Albion Community Trust is delighted to celebrate the continued success of our annual Easter Egg Campaign. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our partners and supporters, we collected and distributed more than 440 Easter eggs, helping to spread joy and Easter cheer throughout our local community.
We are extremely grateful to our valued partners Palletforce, Pirelli, and Midlands Fire, BAFC Academy and parents from BACT’s own programme’s whose kind contributions made a meaningful difference to individuals and families during the Easter period.
Tia Newbold, Technical Analyst and Employee Champion at Palletforce, said: “At Palletforce, we’re proud to see our team come together to support local communities. Collecting 109 Easter eggs for the Burton Albion Community Trust is a wonderful example of how our employee champions make a real difference, spreading joy and giving back where it matters most.”
Eve Hunter, Consumer Marketing Specialist at Pirelli, added: “We’re proud to continue our partnership with Burton Albion Community Trust and to support this year’s Easter Egg Campaign, following the success of last year. Initiatives like this bring creativity and community together in a way that truly reflects our shared values. We’re delighted to have played a part and hope this brings plenty of smiles to faces across the area this Easter.”
Charlotte Eley, Office Supervisor at Midlands Fire, said: “We are proud to have partnered together to collect Easter eggs and support local families in our community. Now in our third year of taking part in this campaign, it continues to highlight the power of collaboration. By working together, we’ve been able to help families celebrate Easter, and we’re grateful to play a part in such a positive and impactful effort.”
Easter eggs were distributed to a number of community partners, including YMCA Burton, BAC O’Connor, and Harvey Girls, as well as BACT’s own programmes. These donations not only brightened the Easter season for many but also supported the vital work being carried out by local organisations across the area.
Eleanor Widdows, Fundraising Officer at YMCA Burton, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Burton Albion Community Trust and their community partners, sponsors, staff, and participants for this generous Easter egg donation. Acts of kindness like this bring real joy to our residents and help us create positive experiences for the people we support.”
Lisa Reilly, Registered Manager at BAC O’Connor, added: “We would like to say a huge thank you to Burton Albion Community Trust for their wonderful Easter gift of chocolate eggs for all our residents. At the BAC, we always celebrate Easter with an egg hunt on Easter Sunday, and this donation has played a big part in making the day so special. We truly value our partnership with Burton Albion Community Trust, who have always been a great supporter of our service and the people we support.”
Reflecting on the campaign’s success, Katie Johnson, Head of Community at Burton Albion Community Trust, said: “We have been genuinely amazed by the incredible support for this year’s Easter Egg Campaign. The kindness and generosity of our partners and the wider community have allowed us to bring joy to so many families. Initiatives like this show the meaningful difference we can make when we come together with a shared goal.”
At Burton Albion Community Trust, we remain committed to creating lasting impact across East Staffordshire and beyond. The Easter Egg Campaign is a perfect example of what can be achieved through teamwork, compassion, and a strong sense of community.
