As Easter approached The Robin Hood Inn in Lambley started an Easter egg collection to support children’s cancer charities.
Gedling Eye caught up with Jo Leafe, manager of the popular local pub who said: “We have a regular, Pete who mentioned that he had done an Easter egg collection in the Robin Hood Inn a few years ago. Pete’s nephew, Ryan died from a cancerous brain tumour that progressed down his spine so we chose to support children’s cancer charities as this is a cause close to Pete’s heart.
“People have been amazed by the scale of the wall. We have even had strangers in that left us money so we could go out and buy eggs to add to the wall. Paul and I would like to thank everyone that donated and we couldn’t have done it without them.
“In total we managed to get a massive 344 eggs and we even had an anonymous donation of over 50 eggs.
“When the chocolate Easter egg wall was taken down we donated the eggs to the teenage cancer ward at City Hospital, Maggies at the City Hospital, Haywood House, the childrens ward at the QMC, Arnold Foodbank, The Salvation Army and Spring Lane Care Home.”
The Robin Hood Inn is located at 82 Main Street, Lambley, NG4 4PP and can be contacted by telephone on 0115 931 3906 or by email at robinhood.lambley@phoenixpub.co.uk.
