Peppa Pig and Easter Bunny pay Grantham Disabled Children Society youngsters a special visit




It was a busy weekend for the Grantham Disabled Children Society (GDCS), and one which saw youngsters meet Peppa Pig and the Easter Bunny.

It started on Saturday with a bucket collection during Grantham Town's home match against Consett.

Among the volunteers was GDCS trustee Darryl Blair, who said: "I'm happy to announce that with the collection and generous donation made we received £300.
