Integral blinds manufacturer Morley Glass has once again taken part in an annual charity campaign which aims to ensure that children living in disadvantaged communities across Yorkshire do not have to miss out on receiving an Easter egg.

The campaign, run by the Yorkshire Children’s Charity, encourages businesses of all types across the region to donate Easter eggs that can then be distributed by volunteers to its partner schools.

Donated chocolate eggs are collected and distributed by charity supporters like Morley Glass, with further products purchased using donations received directly through the charity’s website. This year, the campaign has provided more than 15,000 Easter eggs to children in all parts of the county.

As a long-standing supporter of the charity, the Morley Glass team, its suppliers and customers once again put in a massive effort to collect 4,784 chocolate eggs over a two-month period. This included dedicated campaigns by two organisations that Morley Glass supports and works closely with – the Leeds Knights ice hockey club and Freedom 2 Dance, an inclusive dance school in Castleford – whose contribution made a significant impact.

Morley Glass has distributed all the Easter eggs it collected to partner schools which cater for children living in some of the region’s most disadvantaged communities – children whose life circumstances mean that they may otherwise not be receiving an Easter egg this year.

Charlotte Farrington, CEO and founder of Yorkshire Children’s Charity, commented:

“We are incredibly grateful to Morley Glass & Glazing for their generous donations and continued support. This campaign is about much more than Easter eggs – it’s about creating moments of joy and building trust within school communities.

“Every donation helps us reach a child who might otherwise go without, and that’s what this appeal is all about – simple acts of kindness making a real difference. And thanks to the remarkable generosity of Morley Glass and its customer, suppliers and partners, we’ve been able to spread thousands of smiles across Yorkshire.”

Ian Short, managing director at Morley Glass, added:

“I’d like to say a massive thank you to all our staff, customers and suppliers for their kind donations once again this year.

“This campaign is so important as every Easter egg we are able to collect puts a smile on a child’s face – that is priceless. It also helps to encourage a spirit of giving and thinking about those who are less fortunate than us – values that are sometimes forgotten in the hustle and bustle of daily life. I think that’s what makes this Easter campaign so special.”

Morley Glass has proudly supported Yorkshire Children’s Charity since the charity launched in 2022 by providing a mix of financial and hands-on assistance. The charity works to transform childhoods to make things better for the thousands of disadvantaged children living in the region, to make sure no child or young person is left behind due to ill health, disability, or financial circumstance.
