MORE than 500 Easter eggs have been delivered to sick children who will be at Southend Hospital over Easter.

Quattro Recruitment, which is based in Southend, amassed the vast amount of chocolate delights by asking their clients to donate eggs to children in Southend Hospital over the Easter period.

The eggs will now be shared with all of the Southend Hospital wards and units that look after young patients.

Quattro Recruitment’s Debbie Gilmour, Chesney Lee and Sherri March met the Neptune Ward play team, events and corporate relations manager Elise Fleetwood and five-year-old patient Maci Muller as they handed over the chocolate treats.

They were handed over in plenty of time for the children to enjoy over the Easter weekend.
