One Sweet World!

The Time is Now!

 

 

At a time of increasing division, we're calling on our fans across the country to come together and take a stand for One Sweet World!

 

Stand Up For Unity Over Division

Through 'One Sweet World', we're asking fans to choose unity over division! Together we can share positive community stories, challenge misconceptions of nationality, race, wealth and religion, and help to turn the tide on the rise of fear and prejudice around us.

 

We're asking everyone to join in to make our society a little sweeter.

 

One Sweet World Ice Cream

We’re making a bit of a buzz with our latest sweet treat, featuring coffee, caramel, marshmallow… chocolate… chunks… swirls… all lovingly churned together to tantalise those taste buds. And you know what makes this all the sweeter? Partnering with  Peter McVerry Trust, this flavour will help fund social inclusion projects in Ireland and, in churn –ahem, in turn– contribute to a more inclusive world with a little more peace & love. We think that (just like ice cream!) communities come in all kinds of flavours, and together, we can make One Sweet World.

 

One Sweet World & Peter McVerry Trust Partnership

Peter McVerry Trust has a vision which perfectly fits with One Sweet World: It envisions an Ireland that supports all those on the margins and upholds their rights to full inclusion in society.

 

The charity has a long history of supporting communities and individuals impacted by deprivation and social exclusion, through its work with the thousands of young people it has supported over the years. Not only does Peter McVerry Trust provide shelter and housing, it also acutely aware of the need to create structures that enable people to integrate into their communities and play an active role in society.

 

As a business,  Ben & Jerry’s strive to create a world where everyone gets a 'fair slice of the pie', and use the voice and programmes at the heart of our aspiring social justice company to make this happen. For us, a more inclusive world means the citizens across the world are included in how our society works, regardless of nationality, race, religion, sexuality, disability, economic background or age.

 

That’s why we’re partnering with Peter McVerry Trust. Together, we can help them realise their vision of an Ireland that supports everyone in society, bringing us one step closer to One Sweet World!
