Network Rail has announced that they have teamed up with the fire brigade to hold a huge Easter Egg give away for children in Cumbria.

Operations manager Chris Williamson has been delivering food parcels and donated ready meals to vulnerable people in the Copeland area during the coronavirus crisis.

Over the Easter bank holiday weekend, Morrisons supermarket donated 1000 Easter eggs to the Cleator Moor Covid Support Group.

Chris, working with the Copeland Community Resilience Group, called on the fire brigade to help collect and distribute the eggs.

What did the officials say?

Chris Williamson, local operations manager at Network Rail, said:

“During these difficult times we wanted to do what we could to help out. It was great seeing kids in their gardens with smiles on their faces. They loved seeing the fire engines too.

“I’ll keep on helping my local community as much as I can during the coronavirus pandemic. I’ve got my Network Rail van so I can fit plenty of donations in the back to keep making deliveries.”
