The team really came together this Easter, putting their hand in their pocket and donating over 100+ Easter Eggs to children in the local area.
At the last minute, our Senior Land Manager Jess Kiely had the idea to put some smiles on the faces of the local kids and gathered the team to share her idea.
In a heartwarming turn of events, we immediately excelled our own expectations and quickly had a mountain of chocolate ready to donate. Now the hard bit... we needed help from local community support groups to help distribute the chocolate eggs.
Kids Aware, a disability support organisation in Ossett helping families care for disabled & autistic children, was the first to help us in our mission. They took half the pile to donate to families who had reached out to them.
Bag Fairies who support families in need, usually with pre-loved clothing and items of furniture, was the next to step up and help.
Millennium Support also assisted in donating Easter eggs to children and families via the local food bank.
Finally Soup4em, gave out the remaining Easter eggs to children attending their soup kitchen.
Thank you to everyone involved in our last-minute chocolate mission, and the charities helping us donate to the kids in need. We can't wait to do it next year too!
