Dreams Come True<br />
<strong>Local</strong> social enterprise company Daffodils Dreams has to be given a big storage space to sort out the appeal.<br />
launched an Easter appeal to provide Easter gifts for Social workers and schools have been contacted for their<br />
disadvantaged youngsters.<br />
referrals and will distribute them to children before Easter”.<br />
Daffodils Dreams ran a similar appeal at Christmas to<br />
provide disadvantaged children with gift boxes on<br />
Christmas Eve, and the appeal was widely supported by<br />
both businesses and members of the public, bringing<br />
Christmas cheer to hundreds of youngsters.<br />
The organisation was set up two years ago to create<br />
opportunities for children and their families who find<br />
themselves living in hardship in the <strong>Wigan</strong> area. Daffodils<br />
Dreams provided Easter gifts<br />
in previous years via selected<br />
schools to those in need, but<br />
this year the appeal has widened<br />
thanks to the number of bighearted<br />
local businesses who<br />
have again offered to help.<br />
Maureen Holcroft from Poolstock,<br />
who runs Daffodils Dreams, said:<br />
“We have been lucky enough<br />
Can you help? Eggs and other Easter-based gifts for<br />
children, such as bonnets or cuddly toy chicks can be<br />
donated before Easter at the following drop-off points;<br />
