Ever wished you could create your very own ice cream flavour? Now’s your chance!

Channel Islands Coop and Jersey Dairy have teamed up to celebrate Les Amis’s 50th anniversary with a once-in-a-lifetime competition – and the deadline is fast approaching.

The collaboration is to honour the important work of Les Amis whilst also providing the opportunity for one lucky winner have their dream ice cream come to life.

The winner of the competition will have their flavour created as a limited-edition Jersey Dairy ice cream which will be available to purchase at Coop stores across the island.

All proceeds from the sales of the ice cream will go directly to supporting the work of Les Amis.

The charity provides support to islanders with learning difficulties and associated conditions and is fully funded by service users and donations.

The winner and a guest will also be invited for an exclusive VIP tour of Jersey
Dairy to witness their ice cream creation being brought to life.

They’ll also receive a case of their very own ice cream to take home to enjoy.

If you want to be in with a chance of winning, submit your unique ice cream flavour idea here.

All entries will be reviewed by the judges and the top three flavours chosen will be put to the public to vote to decide the winner.

Eamon Fenlon, Managing Director of Jersey Dairy said: “We’re excited to see what
creative ice cream flavours islanders come up with and encourage everyone to think
outside the box!

He added: “Partnering with the Coop for such an incredible cause while
celebrating 50 years of Les Amis makes this competition even more special.”

Carl Winn, Head of Sustainability at the Coop said, “We are delighted to be working with Jersey Dairy in support of Les Amis and the fantastic role they play in the local community – empowering islanders with learning disabilities.

He added: “This initiative not only highlights the importance of inclusivity but also brings the community together in a fun and meaningful way.

“We are looking forward to seeing the creative entries and, of course, to the winning ice cream flavour hitting the shelves in Coop stores.”

He praised the project collaborators, saying: “We cannot thank the Coop and Jersey Dairy enough for bringing this concept to life and helping us celebrate our 50th in style!”
