A local choir group has collected 644 Easter eggs for a number of good causes.

All Together Now Choir (ATN), which has choirs in Harrogate, Skipton, Baildon and Bingley, held its annual collection over the past three weeks and has topped last year’s total of 500.

The group is donating the chocolatey goodies to worthy causes across the area including Just B, Follifoot Disabled Riders Group, Harrogate Food Bank, New Beginnings Peer Support, Skipton Young Carers and Airedale Hospital.

A spokesperson for the Airedale Hospital Community Charity said:

“We'd like to say a huge thank you to the All Together Now choir for a fantastic donation of Easter eggs to our Children's Ward.

“They'll definitely go down a treat for our smaller patients who will be in hospital over the Easter weekend!

“Georgia and Kesser loved picking out an early treat so thank you Nessa and Maeve for popping in to see them, you are truly egg-cellent!”

The All Together Now Choir (ATN), run by Musical Director Chris Kemp, will next be performing on Saturday 19th April outside the Empress pub in Harrogate at 1:30pm for their Easter fun day.
