This year, for my annual community giveaway, I’ve decided to do something a little different.

Instead of giving away free food as I usually do, I’ve chosen to provide free ice cream to teachers and children at local schools. I’ll be giving away 500–800 ice creams a day so far we are we have given 5000 Ice cream as I make my way around every primary school in Thurrock.

If I haven’t yet been in touch with your school, please send me a message and I’ll do my best to arrange a visit.

Please remember that I’m completely independent I’m not a big company or a wealthy organisation. Everything I do comes from the kindness of my heart and my love for the community. I’ve been supporting local people in different ways for over 15 years, and it’s something I’m proud to continue.

To all the ice cream van operators who usually work at certain schools, I’m not here to take your business. We have special permission to access school playgrounds specifically for this community initiative. If you have a issue do come see me at Desi

Finally, I’d just like to say thank you. Over the past couple weeks, teachers and parents have called me things like:
