Community Newswire-CHRISTIAN CHARITY IN CHICKEN DRIVE

Community Newswire: "In a drive to help lift communities in poor countries out of poverty, the Salvation Army was today urging people across the North West to send chickens to the developing world instead of giving Easter eggs to loved ones.

The charity said buying a chicken from its gift catalogue this Easter would provide eggs and the prospect of a livelihood for someone in the developing world.

Britons buy around 80 million Easter eggs each year at a cost of £500m according to the British Retail Consortium."
