Mansfield company Gi Group has launched its Big Egg Appeal to collect Easter eggs for deserving children.

Branch manager Rebecca Lacey and her team will be giving the eggs from their fourth Easter appea to Home-Start, a charity specialising in support and friendship to families with children under the age of five.

So far companies have been generous and many eggs have been donated, but GI Group would like to give more children a surprise Easter treat.

Rebecca Lacey said: “We are hoping to collect even more eggs than last year, so anyone that wants to donate please do. It is so rewarding to put a smile on these amazing children’s faces.”

Anyone looking to help with the appeal should go to the Gi Group office, 24 Regent Street, Mansfield, NG18 1SS.
