There's some Easter chocolate indulgence ahead for children, families and the elderly who are helped by Julie Taylor of The Cafe in St Peter's Hospital.

The bumper delivery of 85 chocolate eggs was made this afternoon (Friday, 26 February) by Heybridge Blackwater Rotary Club President, Malcolm Myles.

Julie told Maldon Nub News: "I've got some people of different ages who could really do with cheering up right now. There are good homes for all of these to go to."
