The Easter bunny hopped into the childrens' ward at Ormskirk hospital with an egg-stra special delivery yesterday.

Gareth McBurney, manager of the busy Ormskirk Co-op on Wigan Road was joined by Area Manager Joanne Didsbury and team member, Nicola Bayne, to hand over the Easter treats to nurses and children who will be spending this Easter in hospital. Said Gareth: "A huge thank you to members of the Co-op, its customers and colleagues – the response was ‘eggscellent’ and we collected over 330 eggs!

"And the response from the Hospital was fantastic! The childrens' faces lit up seeing the Easter bunny, treats and well-wishes.”
