Care home residents have hidden Easter bunnies around Ashington to create a scavenger hunt for local children.

Staff and residents at Station Court Care Home, which is operated by Barchester Healthcare, have placed 12 numbered bunnies in shop windows in the town.

Children can write down the numbers and the location to complete the hunt.

“I think the children will all have a great time too.”

General Manager Sarah Kelly added: ‘’Residents have had so much fun visiting local shops to hide the bunnies and we are all looking forward to the children visiting with their completed forms and receiving their prizes, and choosing one lucky winner for a egg-stra special prize.’’

Children can take part in the challenge until Sunday, April 9.
