THE Easter bunny has arrived early at a Worcester opticians in a bid to raise funds for a local children’s hospice.
Not only is a one-metre tall Easter bunny in situ at Specsavers in Worcester, the store is also currently home to a 2kg milk chocolate egg.
Between now and next Friday (April 15) anyone visiting the store on Pump Street can have the opportunity to win either the egg, via a raffle, or take home the bunny by guessing its name.
Raffle tickets and name guesses are available for a suggested donation of £1, with all proceeds going to Acorns Children’s Hospice.
“We’ve been long-time supporters of Acorns having raised more than £10,000 since 2007 and Easter ,seems like a good opportunity to drum up some more support,” said Alan Richards, Specsavers Worcester store director.
“We’d encourage anyone to come down, whether you’re a chocoholic, or in need of a giant no maintenance furry friend – your donation will be very much appreciated.”
Acorns Children’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care for babies, children and young people and support for their families. For more information visit www.acorns.org.uk
