A bank is appealing for Easter eggs to help a children's charity.

Metro Bank in North Street, Brighton, has asked the public for donations to support the Rockinghorse Children's Charity, which is linked to the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton.

It raises money to help fund critical medical supplies and services to improve the lives of ill children across the county.

It receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations.

"As a community bank we want to help everyone celebrate despite the tough economic times.

"We invite everyone to join us in making this Easter a memorable one for those who may otherwise go without.”

The bank is open for donations between 8.30am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday, and 11am to 5pm on Sundays, until March 26.

Easter egg donations of any size are welcomed.
