HUDDERSFIELD ice cream maker Yummy Yorkshire has become an official partner of the Huddersfield Giants’ ‘Side by Side’ charity campaign.

The campaign, which was launched in April, works to raise money for the Yorkshire Regiment Benevolent Trust and the Royal Artillery Charitable Fund along with the Giants’ own Talent Builder Programme.

Yummy Yorkshire has pledged its support to the campaign, providing sponsorship in addition to having a physical presence at upcoming Side by Side events, the first one being the Giants’ Celebration Game on Sunday, June 23.

The home fixture against Super League champions Leeds Rhinos is always one of the biggest matches on the Giants’ calendar and was chosen by the club as the perfect opportunity to celebrate all things ‘Side by Side’ and armed forces.

The event will see Yummy Yorkshire showcasing its newly refurbished retro ice cream trailer in the Side by Side zone in front of the John Smith’s Stadium. On offer will be a selection of seven flavours of artisan dairy ice cream for fans to buy.

In addition, the armed forces will be providing a host of activities to do on the day including a paintball range, climbing wall, modern and heritage weapon stands and equipment plus much more.

Yummy Yorkshire will also be supporting the Huddersfield Giants’ fundraising 20/20 cricket day on Sunday, August 18 at Lascelles Hall Cricket Club.

The family cricket day, which was held for the first time last year, will see a team of Giants’ Select XI players face off against a combined military team with all funds raised at the event being donated to the ‘Side by Side’ campaign.
