8,000 Easter eggs donated to children of key workers in Harrogate district.
Residents and businesses across the borough have donated 8,000 chocolate eggs and sweets to children, whose parents are working on the frontline in the fight against coronavirus this Easter.
The idea was started by a group called 'Supplies for key workers in and around Harrogate.' It was set up to help key workers get access to the supplies they need during coronavirus.
Fiona Ryan who runs the group told the Stray Ferret:
They have delivered the packages to the hospital, police force, care homes, schools, GP surgeries, pharmacies, community midwives and district nurses across the borough, so parents had one less thing to think about over Easter.
People from the district have been posting pictures of their children on social media with their Easter treat using the caption 'I'm a key worker mini hero.'
