Fruit firm’s fantastic gesture

Spalding-based company Worldwide Fruit Ltd has been buy helping out a host of local initiatives.

The company put a call out to staff to ask if they knew of any groups that needed help.

And it led to donations for the Spalding COVID Kidness Team with employee Tracy Philpott volunteering with the group.

They also helped Jan Whitbourn who provided food packages for veterans on VE Day after Spalding’s plans to mark the day were ended by the COVID-19 lockdown.

Jan said: “The fruit donations have been greatly received and it is something Worldwide Fruit are incredibly proud of to help support the local community.

“The whole team have been amazing and always happy to help.”
