A Derry community group is making sure that young children in the Waterside get to enjoy a treat from the Easter bunny this year notwithstanding the COVID-19 emergency.

Volunteers from the Caw/Nelson Drive Action Group are getting set to deliver chocolate eggs around the Waterside estate over the next few weeks.

The group will also be bringing packs to help parents keep young people educated and entertained during the 'stay at home' period.

Linda Watson, CNDAC coordinator, said: "Some of our staff and volunteers from Caw/Nelson Drive Action Group getting ready to deliver activity packs and Easter Eggs to the young children in the local area.

"Many thanks to Talking to our Babies for their contribution. Stay Home. Stay Safe everyone."
