We were delighted to be asked by Cambridgeshire ACRE to be part of their 100th Anniversary Centenary celebrations – and we thought we were old at 35! Our Enterprise Kitchen and Unwrapped were asked to cater for this prestigious event and we jumped at the opportunity to showcase our talents, little did we know that this would soon become a right royal affair. We were so excited to introduce our Co-workers working this event to HRH The Duke of Gloucester along with The High Sheriff of Cambridge and the Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire too – we practiced our bows but forgot the formalities on the day as we were too busy serving the best Brownies in Cambridgeshire. We have it on very good authority that the Unwrapped Cakes were delicious. Surely now it’s time to offer HRH King Charles the III a tractor ride on Tilly? Take a look at the official photos of the event:

Farm Shop & Deli Show has unveiled the regional finalists in its 2023 Retailer Awards – comprising some of the UK’s best loved specialist retailers, pillars of their respective communities and champions of great produce and sustainable practice.
An esteemed panel of judges have taken into consideration the ways in which retailers have played an important role in supporting and developing their staff, before creating their shortlist of regional finalists, whittled down from hundreds of entries. Executive Director of The Prospects Trust said “opening the invite to a national award at such a prestigious trade show made us whoop with delight. The trade show at the NEC was where our initial ideas took shape, finding the scales, till, the refill wall and even suppliers over 4 years ago. Unwrapped is a social enterprise GREENgrocery combining the best deli style food, creating a new way to shop local, seasonal and sustainable for Ely, Cambridgeshire, we have our fingers crossed we may even scoop an award”.
The 68 successful businesses span 12 categories and nine UK regions, with some regions awarding ‘Best retailer’ to both small and large retailers. Prospects Trust Unwrapped Shop Manager Clare Rees said “its just super to be shortlisted and share the accolade with my great team of staff, Co-workers, volunteers and of course our supportive customers, we have even scheduled some much needed maintenance work in the shop while we close to attend the show”.
Co-workers (people with additional needs) are part of the workforce at Unwrapped
Back for 2023 the Awards will be selecting their ‘Newcomer of the Year’ as well as the return of the ‘Retailer of the Year’ accolade. These and the regional winners will be revealed live from Farm Shop & Deli Show, at the NEC Birmingham on Tuesday 25th April 2023, in what promises to be a thrilling celebration of the sector. A small team from The Prospects Trust Unwrapped are attending the show and are excited to take part in the award ceremony on Tuesday.

Do you know someone who lives and works in Cambridgeshire that makes a positive difference to your life? Well now is the time to nominate them to share their care and recognise their talents, time and commitment to making Cambridgeshire the best county to live, work and learn together in.
In 2022 The Prospects Trust was nominated and we took the van full of very excited (and extremely glam n glittery, sorry Kevin if you posh shirt got sparkly) Co-workers to the award ceremony in Peterborough Cathedral. With Prospects Trust staff and Trustee Suze supporting; our Co-workers enjoyed the experience of an awards ceremony and lots of yummy canapes (Alex is a buffet ninja in a posh frock). Co-worker Amy still talks about the HipOpera entertainment and the MAD trophy sits pride of place back at our charity HQ in the Snakehall Farm Tea Barn.

We asked Co-workers Anna and Amy what they thought of being nominated and they said it was “exciting and made them proud of their workplace”, Co-worker Kevin said “everyone should nominate again this year as it was a really nice evening”. Alex would just love to represent The Prospects Trust at another award ceremony but we are not sure if it was the canapes or the conversation that made her night. Alex chatted with so many guests at the award ceremony back in 2022 and told everyone about the unique eco organic credentials of her farm.

Thanks to a corporate volunteering work party from Illumina and the helping hands of our volunteer Al our Far Field Re-wilding project was well tended today. With a field of whips already planted, our team of helping hands took our rather retro tools to the very dry soil helping to ensure the wild weeds were away from the new saplings, boosting the survival rates of these new trees of the future. We spotted lots of new growth and the skies were filled with very beautiful Marbled White butterflies too, we have named our favourite Mabel.
Other volunteers helped with tending the brassicas and gave everywhere a much needed soak to keep the organic vegetables growing this very hot summer. We won’t mention the chicken hugs.
Our Co-workers presented all the volunteers with some Rosie Posies of flowers picked and arranged fresh from the farm this afternoon as a little thank you.
