As concerns around the spread of the coronavirus continue to increase, it is our top priority to protect the health and safety of our employees, partners and consumers in line with the latest guidance from the Irish Government. For that reason, Cadbury has decided to cancel this year’s Easter Egg Hunts. We recognise that this will be disappointing news for many families but we consider it the right thing to do.

As a result of the cancellation and to mitigate any loss or disruption to Barnardos services, we are donating €40,000 to the charity, which is needed now, more than ever.

We would also encourage anyone who had planned to purchase a ticket to the event, to consider making a donation to Barnardos, by logging on to: www.barnardos.ie/how-you-can-help/fundraising/donate/make-a-donation. You can also donate €4 to Barnardos by texting BARNARDOS to 50300.
