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

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

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. 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.
