What began as a simple late-night idea by an east Donegal woman developed into an Egg-cellent success!

One night, Evelyn Oliver woke with a plan – to knit Easter chicks stuffed with Cadbury’s

Cream Eggs and sell them to raise funds for Donegal Hospice. The idea quickly took flight, with Egg-cited friends and family jumping on board to help, either by knitting the adorable chicks or donating money and cream eggs.

Thanks to the generosity and hard work of everyone involved, all expectations were Egg-ceeded and the Convoy women raised an impressive €2,160 for Donegal Hospice.

A selection of the Easter chicks, knitted by the talented Convoy ladies.

Special thanks go to Bonner’s Londis Shop in Convoy, whose generous donation of eggs and Egg-ceptional sales made a huge difference. Equal appreciation goes to Murray’s Pharmacy Convoy and Lavish Layne Stranorlar, who also supported the project with great local sales.

Also, a big thank you to sponsors Coyles Centra Raphoe, Kelly’s Centra Mountain Top Letterkenny, and Tesco Letterkenny for their essential donations of Cadbury’s Cream Eggs.
