“We have seen huge generosity from the general public of Hartlepool and surrounding areas, schools and many of the families that we have cared for in the past, bring in Easter Eggs year after year.”

Their appeal this year will benefit Hartlepool Baby Bank, Harbour Refuge and the Hartlepool Special Needs Group.

Meynell & Mason will be happy to receive any donations to its Park Road offices between now and Tuesday, March 26.
