Melksham businesses spread Easter cheer to local families

Two Melksham businesses, New Resource Recruitment and Snap Fitness, have joined forces to bring Easter joy to local families supported by the charity Homestart. Through their combined efforts, over 350 Easter eggs have been donated to children facing difficult times.

Homestart provides vital support to families across Wiltshire facing challenging circumstances such as financial difficulties, isolation, mental and physical health struggles, and bereavement. Their mission is to prevent crises and give children the best possible start in life.

New Resource Recruitment led the charge by collecting 276 Easter eggs from generous clients, while members of Snap Fitness contributed 85 eggs. In addition to their egg donations, Snap Fitness has also organised a fundraising hamper, with proceeds going directly to Homestart. This fundraising effort will continue until Monday, 14th April.

“We are taken aback by the support and generosity of local businesses and individuals,” said Georgina Kane from New Resource Recruitment. “It’s heart-warming to see the community come together to make a difference for children and families who need it most.”

Homestart has expressed their gratitude, saying, “We are overwhelmed by the generosity of New Resource Recruitment and Snap Fitness. Our families will be so grateful, and we know the children will enjoy them! We’d like to thank all of the Snap Fitness members and clients of New Resource Recruitment who donated – their support for the Easter Egg project has been phenomenal.”
