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.

What a weekend! We were incredibly honoured to win Scottish Ice Cream Champions with our famous Double Cream Vanilla at the @royalhighlandshow 🎉 

Our joy was doubled by also securing the title of Overall Dairy Champion, competing against winners from all categories. This achievement is testament to our dedication and passion for excellence in ice cream. We couldn’t be prouder of everyone at Team Equi’s 🏆🍦 

AND last but not least, a huge well done to our friends at @parkfarm_ for winning the Reserve Overall Dairy Champion - they provide all of the fresh local whole milk that helps make our ice cream so special 😍
