Community Spirit have been busy bunnies over Easter.
Everyone loves Easter eggs no matter how young or old they are, so the volunteers from Community Spirit have been busy raising funds and taking donations to make sure the people of Newton Aycliffe receive an egg.
An Easter Raffle was held in the town centre cop shop on Saturday 6th April, where tickets were sold and egg donations taken. Even the Easter Bunny made an appearance (aka Nev Jones) and handed out Easter treats to all the children.
The raffle was drawn on Monday 8th April at the Community Spirits first and very successful disco. First prize went to Millie; second prize went to Darren and third prize to Catherine.
An amazing amount of money was raised and eggs donated which meant that hundreds of eggs were distributed to schools, care homes, supported living and the food bank.
Hopefully Community Spirit has brought the people of Newton Aycliffe together, in the hope that no lonely person or struggling families go without an egg at Easter.
