CHILDREN staying at Leighton Hospital over the Easter period were given a special treat thanks for the genoristy of a Shropshire-based business.

In order to lift the spirits for the children being poorly, Busch GVT Limited set up an initiative whereby all of their employees were invited to donate a chocolate Easter egg or bunny.

Rachel Manley, HR manager at Busch GVT Limited said: “When we planned this initiative we thought of these many families with poorly children and I think that everyone knows of or even has got a member in the family who has not been blessed with good health, be it a short term or long term illness.

“But when it is a young child who has to stay in hospital to receive medical treatment instead of being out and about with family or friends we felt that this situation really is worthwhile being supported in order to brighten up these children’s Easter period.”
