Staff at the funeral directors are asking local businesses, community groups and residents to donate Easter Eggs or chocolate gifts for local children that may not have been expecting to receive one.

Business leader at Jennings Funeral Directors Helen Griffiths said: "We hope that the local community will support us and help to make Easter an easier time for the families supported by Acorns Children’s Hospice and the Good Shepherd Church.

"Dignity colleagues across the country have helped bring a smile to the faces of others that may not have been expecting an Easter Egg and we would like to do the same in our local area."

To donate an Easter Egg, please visit one of the Jennings Funeral Directors branches in Wolverhampton between 9.00am and 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.
