Local families received a helping hand this Easter through the Everyone Deserves an Easter campaign, led by Nick Smith MP and supported by Caerphilly County Borough Council.
A total of 25 hampers were distributed from Rhymney Library Hub, with support from Caerphilly Cares – who made it possible for the scheme to operate locally.
The campaign builds on the success of the “Everyone Deserves a Christmas” initiative and continues to provide meaningful support to families in need. Each hamper included a chicken dinner with vegetables, hot cross buns, Easter eggs, and a few thoughtful extras.
Community organisations and council services, including Parent Network, Supporting People, Housing Services, and the Youth and Family service team worked closely with Caerphilly Cares to ensure the hampers reached families who would benefit most.
Cllr Carol Andrews, Cabinet Member for Education and Communities, said:
“Campaigns like this remind us of the power of community and kindness. I’m proud that the Council, through Caerphilly Cares and Rhymney Library Hub, could support local families this Easter.”
