Dozens of sick children can look forward to Easter after a group of small firms donated chocolate eggs.

More than 20 companies have made donations to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Sick Children in Dyke Road, Brighton.

The scheme is part of CommunityMark, designed to encourage businesses to take part in volunteer projects.

It was developed in Brighton and Hove and extended nationwide.

Business people interested in the scheme or wishing to donate an Easter egg should contact Thea Allison on 01273 770075.
