A number of families in Essex received an Easter surprise thanks to a kind hearted gesture from staff at Wardale Williams in Halstead and the company’s seven branches across Essex and Suffolk.
The company delivered 38 chocolate eggs donated by staff to the Braintree Area Foodbank, which will hand them to families in the Halstead area of the county.
Manager of the Halstead practice, Mark Thompson, pictured with Braintree Foodbank volunteers Alison Chamberlain and Vivian Salter, said: ‘We recently spent time at the Braintree Foodbank warehouse and were truly humbled by the sheer amount of hard work and organisation that goes into running this much needed service.
‘We hope the Easter eggs we have donated will help bring some happiness to local families who may be going through a difficult time.’
The company says it is now considering ways it can support other foodbanks in the area.
