Members of a Slimming World's class in Northallerton have given their Easter eggs to young patients in the children's unit of the town's Friarage Hospital.

The unit was presented with the chocolate eggs by slimming consultant Emma Jane Selby

She said: "We thought it was a nice idea and we wanted to give something back to the children's ward for all their help and for being so caring when our children are poorly."

Sister Jo Kelsey said: "We are very grateful to the Slimming World members for giving up their Easter eggs and I am sure all the children will enjoy tucking in.

"It continues to amaze me the generosity of local people who help and support the hospital and especially our unit."
