Radio West Norfolk and Your Local Paper, in partnership with Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors, have organised the fifth annual Easter egg appeal for less fortunate children in West Norfolk and the surrounding area.
More than 2,000 chocolate eggs were donated in total this year and poorly young patients at The QEH have received theirs.
Simon Rowe, Radio West Norfolk director and colleagues from Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors in King’s Lynn, visited the Trust on Tuesday 26 March to dop off their share of the chocolate goodies.
Simon said: “Easter is the perfect opportunity to bring a little bit of joy to the children at King’s Lynn’s QEH and, as ever, we’re so grateful to everyone who has kindly donated to this worthy appeal.”
Greta Savickas, aged five from Wisbech (pictured), was having a routine appointment at the hospital when the chocolate eggs were donated. She was given an egg to take home ready to enjoy on Easter Sunday.
Her father, Lukaseviciute, said: “This is such a lovely thing to do and will mean so much to Greta and other children in hospital.”
Pippa Street, Chief Nurse at The QEH, said: “I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to donate by buying an extra egg this Easter, and of course a huge thank you to the amazing organisers at Radio West Norfolk, Your Local Paper and Ward Gethin Archer Solicitors.
“Easter can often make a hospital stay all the more difficult for our patients and these Easter eggs will really mean a lot to them.”
Ends.
