The Great Start in Life (GSIL) Foundation, part of Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity (HHCC), invites families, colleagues and local supporters to join our fun and interactive Easter challenge.
Our Where’s the Egg? competition is now open and runs until Monday 6 April 2026 (Easter Monday).
Where’s the Egg? – Great Start in Life Edition is an online Easter egg hunt designed to raise awareness of the GSIL Foundation. It also brings families and communities together. Participants search for Easter eggs hidden in photographs taken across Yorkshire and the North East. These images represent the 11 areas where we support children, young people and their families. You can record how many eggs you find on the official entry form.
To take part, you simply donate £2 via the GSIL JustGiving page. In addition, we will post two clues each week on our social media platforms to help you spot even more hidden eggs.
Everyone who correctly identifies the total number of eggs will enter a prize draw to win a £20 Easter prize bundle. We will announce the winner on Tuesday 7 April 2026.
Emma Anderson, Associate Director of Nursing, commented:
The ‘Where’s The Egg-Great Start in Life Edition’ campaign is a fantastic way to engage children, young people and families in fun, accessible activities that promote health, wellbeing and early development. Initiatives like this help strengthen communities while reinforcing the importance of giving every child the best possible start in life. We are proud to support an approach that brings partners and families together to improve outcomes for children across our communities.”
Gemma Cook, Associate Business Development, Charity and Volunteer Manager, commented:
We’re absolutely delighted to be launching ‘Where’s The Egg – Great Start in Life Edition’ this Easter. It’s a simple, fun way for families to get involved, enjoy a bit of friendly competition and support a cause that makes a real difference locally. Every entry helps us continue our work with children and young people across our communities, and we’re so grateful for the support we receive. We can’t wait to see how many people find all of the eggs.
The funds raised will support children, young people and their families across the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust footprint. If you would like to learn more about how we support over 800,000 children and young people, please visit our page about the Great Start in Life Foundation.
