The Co-operative Funeral-care, in Macmillan Road, Newton Aycliffe is appealing to the community for help in collecting Easter eggs again this year. Staff are collecting eggs for local groups for children and adults with learning disabilities and children staying with their mums at Women’s Aid Refuges in Darlington and Bishop Auckland.

Jenette Sisson Divisional Manager of the Co-operative Funeralcare said “As a business at the heart of the community we want to put a smile on as many faces as possible this Easter.”

Eggs and Easter gifts will be gratefully received at our funeral home between Monday 4th and Friday 22nd March or at any local Funeralcare funeral home. For more information please call Barbara Bates on 300510
