Making a Sweet Difference for Over 100 Years!

At Equi’s, we believe in creating a world as sweet and caring as our ice cream. For more than 90 years, we’ve been there for families, school celebrations, and those much-needed post-breakup indulgences. Now, it’s our turn to give back.

Maggie’s Lanarkshire

In remembrance of Roberto Equi, the visionary second-generation of our business, we proudly champion Maggie’s Lanarkshire. Maggie’s haven at Monklands Hospital provides practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer, ranging from financial advice to exercise classes and walking groups.

Over the last 5 years we have raised a total of £34,051 for Maggie’s Lanarkshire. In 2022 we pledged £12,000 annually in support of the cancer caring facility, to “pay for a day” of its busy programme of support until 2026.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

  • “As Chairman of Maggies locally, oh how I pray for more generous supporters like Equis! It’s not just your regular  donations of gallons of Scotland’s BEST ice cream for volunteers and guests, but your longterm financial commitment to “Pay for a Day” for several years, is exactly the style of support that gives us confidence to continue our work to support those affected by cancer in Lanarkshire – thank you, Team Equi’s!”

    Sandy Wilkie, Chairman, Maggie’s Lanarkshire

Kilbryde Hospice

For more than five years, we’ve been honored to bring our comforting ice cream to the patients at Kilbryde Hospice.  Their dedicated team goes above and beyond, ensuring individuals facing life-limiting conditions receive the care they deserve right when they need it, all within the embrace of their local community.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

  • “Equi’s are not only a family business, they’re a part of a caring community, supplying Kilbryde Hospice with delicious ice cream – making a world of difference to our patients. Very grateful for all you do.”

    Jim Smith, Assistant Catering Manager, Kilbryde Hospice

Supporting Cole Thompson

We support local boy Cole Thomson from East Kilbride who suffers from paralysing drug resistant epileptic seizures. We sponsored Cole’s Christmas Wish campaign in 2022 & 2023 to fundraise for the £18,000 annual cost of the 10-year-old’s private medical cannabis prescription. Since taking a daily dose of the cannabis oil Bedrolite he is seizure-free and has gone from being confined to a wheelchair with limited speech to launching his own YouTube channel and training in taekwondo.

Read more about Cole’s inspiring story here.

Our commitment to community stretches back to the 1930s when we began proudly sponsoring the local football heroes, Hamilton Accies. Our partnership extends to the Hamilton Academical FC Community Trust, who provide events and support for local children and families. It’s not just about the game; it’s about uplifting our community together.

That’s right, it is our best selling @skyeseasaltco Sea Salt & Caramel. 
 
Made with hand-harvested sea salt from the pristine waters of Loch Snizort, this flavour brings the magic of Skye straight to your scoop. 🌊
 
Fun fact: It’s the only sea salt in the UK made using just sun and wind. Pretty cool, right? ☀️

When M&S cookies go viral… you know the Equi’s family had to try them. 🍪🍦

 
David (our CEO & 3rd-gen ice cream maker) and daughter Alex just did the ultimate cookie + ice cream pairing taste test, and trust us, it’s dangerously good. Watch to see which Equi’s flavours matched perfectly with the viral M&S cookies.
Would Nonna approve? Maybe. Better get her some! 🍪

It’s National Strawberry Sundae Day… so naturally, we made a sundae and then completely ignored the brief. 🍓

Sure, there’s strawberry sauce in there… but also raspberry ripple, pistachio swirl, chopped white chocolate, fresh raspberries, and a wee wafer for dramatic effect. Because who sticks to just one flavour? Not us. Ever. 😎 

Filmed this beauty in a @millerhomesuk showhome, because sundaes deserve a bit of luxury too. 🏡✨
