Proper Pubs has collected 20,500 chocolate Easter eggs — exceeding last year’s total of 18,000 — to donate to local communities and groups in need across the UK.
The eggs have been collected by both pub customers and local residents, and will be donated to a wide range of deserving community initiatives and charities, such as women’s shelters, children’s wards, and nursing homes.
Several pubs — including the Ashmore Inn, in Wolverhampton, The Bird, in Washington, The Horse Shoe Bar. in Motherwell, and the Queens Park Café, in Glasgow — have collected more than 400 eggs each, for local foodbanks, hospitals, children’s charities, and more.
“This initiative stands testament to everything we believe in here at Proper Pubs, and is a fantastic example of community spirit at its very best,” said managing director Mark Brooke.
“By coming together to collect and donate chocolate eggs, our pubs and their customers will help to spread a little joy to those who may otherwise be going without.
“I’d like to extend my deepest thanks to our fantastic operators and their wonderful communities for all their kindness and generosity this year and we wish everyone a very happy Easter.”
