Hundreds of Easter eggs donated to charity
Youngsters at a Peterborough children’s charity were jumping for joy thanks to a donation of hundreds of Easter Eggs during the school holidays.
GRAHAM, National Highways and Thorpe Primary School which is part of Peterborough Keys Academies Trust (PKAT) donated more than 600 Easter eggs to Little Miracles.
The charity offers advice and support to families with children with additional needs disabilities and lifelimiting conditions across the UK.
To support this fantastic cause GRAHAM, National
Highways and pupils from Thorpe Primary School have been gathering Easter eggs, sweet treats and chocolate bars.
They have collected activity packs, bunny boppers, books and more to bring smiles and joy to the faces of the children who attend Little
Miracles. The pupils were excited to attend the charity’s centre.
GRAHAM, civil engineering experts working on behalf of National Highways, has been an active supporter of Little Miracles Charity and Thorpe Primary School. It is eager to add value and support local communities, organising donation drives for the charity at Easter and Christmas and delivering interactive STEM activities to encourage rewarding careers in construction at Thorpe.
Louise Evans, Little Miracles head of income generation, said: “Once again, we are so grateful to the teams at GRAHAM and National Highways for their incredible support.”
She added: “Little Miracles is funded almost entirely by voluntary donations. Without the help of organisations like GRAHAM and National Highways we simply wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of families who turn to us every year.”
Lynsey Harris, GRAHAM social value and community engagement lead, said: “I am delighted with the response to the Little Miracles Easter egg and Easter-themed goodies donations. Last year, GRAHAM along with National Highways and our supply chain, collected donations for the centre. This year, we have had such a great response with even more collaboration.”
