ANYONE FOR PIZZA? Gedling pub donates FORTY pizzas to local charity

Popular local pub and eatery The Gedling Inn have donated 40 pizzas to kids and their families in Netherfield during half term.

Beccy Webster who took over the reigns at the Gedling Inn in 2019 aiming to bring back the community spirit to the Gedling pub told Gedling Eye: “We as a team at The Gedling inn wanted to do something to support families during half term so we contacted the St George’s centre in Netherfield as we know the amazing work they do there and discussed options of how we could help.

“We wanted to make it something fun for the children that they could then share with their siblings and family so came to the decision we would make pizzas and donate them to families at the end of their work shop.”

She added: “We as a company and a team realise that times are hard everywhere and it’s nice to give back to the community. They had a full day of fun at the St George’s centre with Tina (Simpson) and the team”.

Tina Simpson, overall winner of ‘The Pride of Gedling‘ award in 2022 for her community work said on social media “Thank you so much to the Gedling Inn for turning up with FREE PIZZA for 40 children to take home for their tea and to share with their family.

“You are truly amazing, the photo tells a thousand words with all those happy faces and this is only a fraction of the pizza as half of the children had already gone home.”

Beccy and the team at The Gedling Inn carry out their community work throughout the year and next up for popular pub and eatery is their annual homeless collection.

The team collect sleeping bags, socks, scarfs and hats, food such as crisps or snacks and toiletries such as baby wipes, sprays etc. They then make bags up and walk around the town centre to give them out.
