Families across Richmond have helped make a difference for local children this spring, as the chicks and bunnies featured in The Great Richmond Easter Trail have now been donated to local charity Small Steps, which supports young children with physical disabilities and their families.
Organised by Be Richmond, The Great Richmond Easter Trail took place over the two-week Easter school holidays and invited families to explore Richmond town centre in search of 11 hidden Easter characters displayed in participating businesses.
Hundreds of families took part in the free town-wide activity, designed to encourage community engagement while supporting Richmond’s vibrant high street.
Following the success of the trail, Be Richmond donated the collection of soft toys used throughout the event to Small Steps, helping to bring comfort and joy to children supported by the charity.
Eleanor Miller, Marketing Manager at Be Richmond, said:
“We were delighted to see so many families taking part in this year’s Great Richmond Easter Trail and exploring everything our town centre has to offer. Being able to donate the soft toys to Small Steps afterwards felt like a wonderful way to extend the positive impact of the event and support the incredible work the charity does for local children and families.”
Be Richmond has thanked all participating businesses and families who supported this year’s Easter Trail and says more community events and family activities are planned throughout the year.
