Jim Thompson, chairman of Abbeyfield trustees, said: “It’s always special when other people think about our residents. The gift of a simple thing like a chocolate egg creates a nice feeling and helps rekindle memories of Easter’s past. We are very grateful to everyone for their kind donations.”

Radio Northumberland is advertising and coordinating the collection of eggs and Leading Link is helping to distribute them to families together with Lodge Temperance who are using their members to coordinate with care homes and schools.

Project organiser Tom Stewart said: “We’re aiming to distribute 3,000 eggs this year and each one will generate a smile for whoever gets one. We are very grateful to Morrisons for donating the first eggs and the many businesses and individuals who are giving cash to help us achieve our target.”
