Firstly thank you to all of you who donated Easter Eggs to us before the pandemic meant we had to change our plans for the collection. Just so you know the eggs that were given to us did not go to waste.
Over the last week we gave 150 Easter Eggs which were split between Trinity school who are supporting 40 vulnerable families and also families being supported by DG primary through the free food system for vulnerable children in our community.
We also gave 170 Easter Eggs to the Children wards & NHS front line staff at Darent Valley Hospital (DVH) today to show our support to the amazing staff and all the hard work they are doing to help people during them pandemic.
The collection wasn’t as we had planned but I do hope you all approved of our choice of donation places.
From everyone at Welham Jones we wish you all a peaceful Easter and please stay home and stay safe.
