Today, on VE Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served—and gave so much—for our freedom.

As funeral directors, remembrance is at the heart of what we do. Each year on Remembrance Day, we stand alongside our local communities to ensure that the legacy of the fallen is never forgotten.

We will remember them.

We had the absolute honour of dropping off over 300 Easter eggs to Brighter Futures at Great Western Hospital today, ready to be shared with children and families going through incredibly tough times.

This amazing result wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our incredible community. We’re truly grateful to the local advisers, businesses, and especially the dedicated childminders who came together and backed this appeal with such generosity and heart.

Your kindness hasn’t gone unnoticed. Every single egg will help bring a smile to someone who needs it — and that’s all thanks to you.

From all of us at A.P. McDonald Funeral Services, thank you for helping us make this happen.

🐰✨ Our Easter Egg Appeal is Back! ✨🐰

After the incredible success of our Christmas toy appeal, we are thrilled to announce the return of our Easter Egg Appeal! This year, we are collecting Easter eggs and sweet treats for the children spending Easter in the Children’s Ward at Great Western Hospital, Swindon.

For many of these children, Easter won’t include egg hunts or family celebrations at home. With your support, we can bring them a little joy and brighten their day with a small treat.

🍫 How You Can Help:
We are accepting donations of Easter eggs, Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, and even vegan or gluten-free treats. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference!

📍 Where to Donate:
Drop your donations off at our office:
📍 28 Maryport Street, Devizes, SN10 1AG

📅 Collection Dates:
We are accepting donations from March 10th to April 15th.

Let’s come together as a community to bring smiles to these children this Easter! 💛
