Children share the joy of Easter

YOUNGSTERS around Warwickshire have been getting into the spirit of Easter.

• RAINBOWS have given a special Easter treat to youngsters at Warwick Hospital’s children’s ward.

The young members of the St Mark’s group donated more than 45 Easter eggs and some bunny gifts to patients on the MacGregor Ward last week.

Julie Brown, a guider for the group, said: “During the past few weeks they have been looking at the wonderful stories of saints and they all wanted to share the message of Easter with the children at the MacGregor ward.

“They worked so hard, writing their own messages on every single egg donated.”

The group is made up of the youngest members of the Guide association.
