Hundreds of people gathered in Clacton for a heartwarming ice-cream giveaway organized by local business owner Martin Webber and 17-year-old community worker Jorden Walker.
The pair, who teamed up for the event, distributed over 400 free ice creams to the crowd, providing not only a sweet treat but also a sense of unity and togetherness. For Jorden, the giveaway was more than just a gesture—it was a chance to foster community spirit. “It was absolutely incredible,” Jorden said. “We showed the world what unity looks like.”
In addition to the ice creams, the event saw local business owners engaging with attendees, discussing future collaborations and community projects. The day was a testament to the power of small acts of kindness, with Martin Webber, owner of Whip It Like Webber, emphasizing the importance of community support. “Ice-cream is about happiness,” he said. “Today proved that a simple gesture can make a big impact.”
Martin, who has expanded his ice-cream business from a single van to a fleet of eight, said the event was also a chance to move past recent challenges. His business had been recently targeted by false claims on social media, but the outpouring of support from the community served as a reminder of why he continues his work. “I do this for my kids,” Martin shared. “Ice-cream is my life, and I would never compromise on quality or safety.”
