Thanks to everyone that came along to the Easter Egg hunt yesterday, we had around 50 children attend and had a great time, hunting for the eggs, making masks and planting up salad veg for the summer meals, and having their faces painted! A very big thank you to all our lovely volunteers that made this event possible, a special thank you to the Easter Bunny who came along to meet the children. Thanks to Sainsburys on Morley St, Morrisons, Thorntons and Asda who all contributed goods or money to the event. We are very grateful for your support.

A big thank you to Community Champion Debbie from Asda Spondon, who popped along to the Nearly New Zealand Charity Shop (Campion St) yesterday to present me with a cheque from Asda for £170 for our Easter Egg Hunt on April 20th. This money will be put towards entertainment at the event - a facepainter and an Easter craft table - which will both be free for the children to take part in and enjoy. We are very grateful to Debbie who has supported us in several activities during the past 12 months, including the Christmas Day Dinner, and the Lunch Club. Easter Egg Hunt will be on Saturday 20th...
