Easter Egg Appeal Underway!
It's Here!
As launched by Black Diamond FM’s own afternoon crew Larry and Ailsa, Black Diamond FM is having its Easter Egg appeal again this year.
Last year thanks to you and the rest of our listeners it was a great success with piles of eggs donated and we would love to do the same or better this year.
Our appeal is underway and will run until Thursday the 25th of March.
This year all the eggs are going to the Hawthorn Children's Nursery in Mayfield.
How to donate
If you have an egg you are willing to donate then it is easy to do so!
