Grantham community goes ‘above and beyond’ to help St Barnabas Hospice this Easter

A town has gone ‘above and beyond’ to help a hospice.

Every Easter, St Barnabas Hospice sells Crème eggs with a special egg cover on them to raise money.

These will be on sale at over 20 locations in Grantham throughout March, with each egg costing £3.

Community fundraiser Fiona Malloch-Rear said: “To be able to have so many selling locations, the charity needed a huge amount of Crème eggs to be donated and the Grantham community went above and beyond with their generosity.

“All the money raised goes back into the community to fund the vital work of the hospice in the area.”

Fiona wanted to thank the Grantham businesses involved including: Finkins Cafe, Right at Home, Nan’s Nice Cakes, Totemic, Lions Club, Inner Wheel, Sunrise Rotary Club, Diversity D-Card Group, Star Self Store and Duncan and Toplis.

As well as Grantham, there are over 160 locations across Lincolnshire that are selling the eggs.

There are six novelty eggs that contain a special gold covered Crème egg, where people will get the chance to win a larger boxed Easter egg.

Anyone who finds one can get in touch with St Barnabas by emailing fundraising@stbarnabashospice.co.uk and tell them which location the egg was found in.
