MORE than 300 knitted chicks and bunnies have been donated to a supermarket.

Morrison’s in Dovercourt has received hundreds of knitted chicks and rabbits from its staff and customers.

The knitted Easter characters were filled with chocolate eggs and sold for £1.50 at the store.

Community champion Cally Short said she was astounded at the generosity the amount of knitted chicks that were being donated and never dreamed it would have such a brilliant response.

She said: “We are now on the hunt for an idea for Christmas so we can get a head start.

“The total raised was £628 which is being donated to CLIC Sargent.”
