eg staff and colleagues dug deep to raise money for the Company charity, Doornkop Needy Children’s Centre by taking part in a raffle to win a giant Easter egg.

The gigantic Easter egg was donated by Telford based Magna Specialist Confectioners through eg staff member, Chris Fryer, to raffle and raise as much money as possible.  It measured a whopping 3ft.

Total funds raised from the raffle topped £350, which will provide further educational equipment for the children at the Creche.

The winner, Chris O’Donnell, pictured below, was announced today – on April fools day!

Chris said “I just wanted to support the charity fundraising and never thought I’d win – my son will be over the moon this Easter”

eg’s CEO, Elizabeth Gooch commented, “It is fantastic that everyone supports the charity and gets involved with the fundraising as it is so important we continually enhance the facilities at the crèche to develop the children’s education”.

The Doornkop Needy Children’s Centre provides shelter, clothing, education and love to orphans and destitute children from the age of 0–5 years.  Currently around 160 children are in their care.  eg decided to support Doornkop after being introduced to their work by the CEO of weekly South African newsletter ‘South Africa – The Good News’ and has since pledged to support the charity in their short and long term objectives.
