Lyndsay said; “This is such a good cause, and I just knew that our director Matthew would want to help…. He’s a really good egg!
Getting hold of that many eggs the week before easter wasn’t as easy as you’d think… a big thanks to ASDA who were great, assisting us in sourcing all 270 eggs needed and even threw in a few extra for free.”
SOP, founded in 1982, are a registered charity helping to alleviate loneliness and isolation often experienced by older people living on their own. Their aim is to make all 270 local service users happy with a lovely easer git!.
Julia from Supporting Older People said; “Thank you so much to Verity Frearson for supporting our Easter egg initiative. This generous donation has taken us over and above what we needed, so are sharing spare easter eggs with fellow Community House residents, IDAS, Lifeline Harrogate, Open Country & Harrogate Town Community Foundation.”
Matthew Stamford, Managing director at Verity Frearson said: "Our team has always been passionate about supporting the fantastic charities in Harrogate and the surrounding areas. We’re really glad we could help bring some extra smiles this Easter!”
