Noble Foods' egg and spoon push kicks off

Noble Foods is egging Brits on to take part in egg and spoon races in support of the armed forces, as it launches a fundraising push for its Eggs for Soldiers range.

The company is holding a March Fourth Family Eggstravaganza on Clapham Common, London, on 4 March. Noble is also calling on schools, clubs and teams to hold races to raise funds for charity.

Noble announced this week it had reached its first-year target of raising £250,000 through Eggs for Soldiers three months earlier than planned.
