Metropolitan Police officers are taking part in Operation ‘Easter Smile’ that has seen over 1,400 Easter eggs delivered to children in hospital across London.
On Easter Monday (13 April), officers from the Met handed out over 1,400 Easter eggs to children’s wards at Great Ormond Street, St Thomas’, St George’s, St Mary’s and Kings College hospitals in London to help brighten up the children’s Easter weekends.
Officers and staff from the Met’s Violent Crime Taskforce donated the Easter eggs and then, alongside officers from Operation Venice, delivered the eggs whilst out on patrol.
On a Facebook post to the Metropolitan Police Service page was posted reading: “A group of officers from the Met’s Violent Crime Taskforce (VCTF) and Operation Venice teams came together to make some very special deliveries to hospitals across London yesterday!
“Laden with over 1,400 Easter eggs, paid for by the VCTF officers themselves, the teams made their way to Great Ormond Street, St Thomas’, St George’s, St Mary’ and Kings College hospitals to help brighten up the children’s Easter weekends!”
Sergeant Dan Nelson, who organised ‘Operation Easter Smile’, said: “Many children in hospitals across London were sadly unable to spend time with their loved ones over the Easter weekend.
“I hope this brought a smile to those children’s faces, and the hardworking NHS staff who are caring for them.
“I would like to thank each and every one of my colleagues who were involved.”
