Egg-cellent: Donated Easter eggs make sure Highland families receiving support during coronavirus outbreak can enjoy a sweet treat
Chocolate Easter bunnies earmarked for the 12th annual Inverness City Centre Easter Egg Hunt have been donated to make sure families receiving support during Covid-19 can enjoy a traditional tasty treat.
Inverness BID ordered 400 Easter bunnies for the hunt but instead of wasting them, it has donated them to Highland Council to distribute.
BID manager Mike Smith said: “We were delighted to be able to pass on our initial stock of bunnies for distribution to the community by our colleagues at Highland Council.
"I am pleased to announce with the support of our partners Eastgate Centre, that the traditional Great Easter Egg Hunt will continue this coming weekend with an online version of the hunt being available from our website and our Facebook event page from Friday.”
Inverness Provost Helen Carmichael thanked BID for its generosity.
She said: “The annual city centre Easter Egg Hunt is one of the calendar highlights but obviously it cannot take place on the ground this year. However, I hope people do join in with the special online version.
“I would like to sincerely thank Mike and his BID team for this thoughtful and generous donation. We will make sure the bunnies all find good homes with people needing extra support at this difficult time.”
