The Easter Bunny has visited the Children's Hospital at the John Radcliffe delivering Easter gifts and eggs to children and siblings who are spending the break away from their family homes.

Courier and logistics organisation Swift, based in Newbury, has also visited hospitals in Swindon and Reading since 2011.

CEO Adrian Smith said: “Beyond the gifts and eggs, the appearance of our very own  Easter Bunny  has a magical effect on the faces of patients, families and the very special NHS Workers alike."

Bicester Advertiser:

"We all take for granted the fun of Easter at home with our families – but sadly forget that for many children, and their siblings, this time is missed, due to time spent in hospital receiving treatment.”

The company has links to the hospitals through its work as Specialist Medical Logisticians.

Mr Smith said: "To be able to use these links to deliver just a few moments of fun and joy – to another wise scary and imposing environment – is something we look forward to every year."
