Talks started for the first Big Egg Hunt in 2010 when Action for Children and Elephant Family entered into an agreement to develop an Easter fundraising event.

The motivation was to fundraise and engage the public together in a new, exciting, fun and interactive way during the Easter period. In a particularly challenging economic climate for the third sector, we had to think outside the box.

The two charities came together in one of the most dynamic and engaging partnerships in recent charity history and successfully delivered one of the biggest fundraising events of the year in 2012. This year, we've teamed up with Lindt and are taking the eggs on tour for The Lindt Big Egg Hunt 2013!
