Guildford funeral home makes eggs-tra special donation to local hospital

The treats were gathered through a collection donation drive organised by the team at Co-op Funeralcare Guildford on Woodbridge Road, with the Easter eggs donated to the children’s unit at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.

The city centre‑based unit provides round‑the‑clock specialist care for babies, children and young people from just a few days old up to the age of 16.

Thanks to the generosity of the community and local businesses, the branch quickly surpassed its original goal of collecting 100 eggs for the children’s ward, just in time for Easter.

Christina Jones, Funeral Arranger at Co-op Funeralcare Guildford, said: “The wonderful team at the Hascombe children’s ward took care of my daughter when she was poorly as a toddler. During her stay, she received an advent calendar, which brought a huge smile to her face.

“Seeing the joy it brought her made me want to give something back. As part of our ongoing community work, we’ve donated treats at Christmas and Easter ever since. It’s our way of supporting our incredible local hospital and bringing a little comfort to those who need it most.”
