From Mr Ray Taylor
Sir, - I read with great interest the Revd Sally Hitchiner's
column (Comment, 2
April), particularly the last paragraph regarding Easter eggs
to foodbanks.
I am Chaplain to the 1st Mid-Suffolk Boys' Brigade Company
(which also has girl members), and I suggested to the Company
Section (children aged between 11 and 15) that, as a Lenten
challenge, since they all seemed to think they would be receiving
quite a few Easter eggs, perhaps they should think of families who
could not afford an Easter egg.
Their task was not to ask mum to get one from the supermarket
next time she was there, but to go themselves and choose the best
one they could afford, and buy it with their own pocket money. This
they all did, and I received 16 Easter eggs, which I took to the
local foodbank and, I hope, gave a bit of joy to some families.
