Chocolate shop pledges support for Help for Heroes

Help for Heroes stands to gain from the support of a high-quality chocolate store in the south-west, which has decided to do all it can to raise money for the charity.

Emily's Chocolates in Sidmouth is to hold a special Easter competition, in which participants will be given the chance to win a 50cm luxury Belgian chocolate Easter bunny, weighing 1.2kg, reports View Online.

Owner Jane Sherwood said she wanted to do something to celebrate Easter and thought the best option of all might be to raise money for Help for Heroes.

"Every little helps and most people know somebody in the forces, so I am hoping that by pledging my support for the charity, more local people will be inspired to help too," she stated.

People in or around Sidmouth can visit Emily's Chocolates shop and pay to enter the competition and choose a lucky square, before a winner is chosen later this month.
