The team at Peterborough-based JS Davidson have helped brighten up the summer for hundreds of children and young people under the care of Little Miracles charity.

Since before the summer holidays the transport firm has supplied and transported 60 boxes a day of KellyDeli ice creams for the children and their families to enjoy during planned activities.

And with the help of JS Davidson customers the company also donated £700 to the charity, to pay for a special cinema screening of Inside Out 2, exclusive to Little Miracles families.

Louise Evans, Head of Income Generation at Little Miracles, said the ice creams have been well received during the hot weather.

Speaking about the donation from JS Davidson she added: “The families had the cinema to themselves so they didn’t have to worry about their children in terms of noise during the film. They could just be themselves and have fun!

“Also usually in a cinema trip children in wheelchairs have a designated area away from their families, but by having the screening to ourselves it allowed us to sit the families together – even if their child was in a wheelchair – which was excellent as we want our families and children to have nice experiences together and make lots of memories – it’s the ethos of Little Miracles.”

The support from JS Davidson over the summer has benefited up to 3,000 children and their families who use Little Miracles’ Peterborough centre.

Other activities during the holidays included visits to theme parks, and visits to Little Miracles’ centres from the circus, bubble artists and bouncy castle experiences and even from snakes and dinosaurs!

John Davidson, Managing Director of JS Davidson, said: “We have built an excellent relationship with Little Miracles since the first lockdown over four years ago and we are delighted to continue supporting the team who work tirelessly to help not just the children and young people in their care but also their families.

“We were delighted to support them once again this summer by funding the cinema screening, helping to provide special experiences for our parents and children and helping them to create everlasting memories.”

Louise thanked John Davidson and his team for their ongoing support adding: “The support that JS Davidson has given to the families we support of children with disabilities and life-limiting conditions goes from strength to strength. Not only do they provide invaluable financial support, but we always feel able to ask for help if we need it, from extra storage in their warehouse to running out of A4 paper! We are so grateful to everyone in the team and are really proud to work so closely with such a fantastic organisation.”
