Vanessa Pharaoh hand-delivered the chocolates to frontline workers around Black Tom
Frontline NHS staff and carers were given a sweet surprise this week, when local chocolatier Vanessa Pharaoh made a special delivery.
Vanessa, of Pharaoh’s Gold Chocolates, has been donating her boxes of chocolates to NHS staff and carers in her local neighbourhood (Prime Ministers aka Black Tom) as a small token of her appreciation for all their incredible work during these difficult times.

“With so many events cancelled as a result of the coronavirus, I didn’t want any of my lovely hand-made chocolates to go to waste (maybe to waist instead…),” said Vanessa.
“I immediately thought the best place to put them would be in the hands of these wonderful people.”
