Just like Christmas, Easter is a time millions of kids all over the world get excited about the sweet treats bought to them by the Easter bunny (or their parents).
But not all children get that excitement. One UK business is trying to change that.
11 Access Self Storage stores across the UK are urging their local communities to donate Easter Eggs in store for local charities.
The company’s annual Easter Egg drive has seen more than 8000 chocolate eggs given to dozens of charities since it launched in 2011.
The Easter eggs go to benefit the stores’ local nominated charities so that everyone gets some chocolatey goodness this Easter.
The charities benefiting from this drive are The Children’s Adventure Farm, St George’s Hospital, The Hackney Food Bank, Victoria Drive Primary Pupil Referral Unit, The Salvation Army, Brent Foodbank, and Kids Can Achieve.
Staff have started collecting eggs and people are invited to bring donations into the stores until 31st March, ahead of the charity collection and distribution in time for Easter itself.
If you want to get involved, contact your local Access Self Storage for more information.
