Last year you donated more than 2,ooo chocolate treats, which were distributed to children struggling to overcome long-term illness, disability and problems such as poverty and abuse.

This year we hope you will help us to support even more children.

The Easter Bunny went along to Tesco in The Bridges to help launch this year’s appeal.

Ann Edwards, community champion at the store, said: “We are delighted to be able to support the Easter appeal again this year.”

Wearside charity Hope 4 Kidz, which helps underprivileged children, will be collecting and distributing the eggs in the week leading up to Easter.

Viv Watts, of Hope 4 Kidz said: “We are so grateful to everyone who supports our appeal. We could not support all the charities relying on us without your help.”
