Community Benefits

George Anderson & Sons have been supporting active learning in our Scottish Schools for over 35 years.

Talks and display are all available to encourage everyone to eat more fruit and Veg as part of their daily routine.

Stay healthy with fruit and vegetables

As the old saying goes, healthy bodies mean healthy minds. At George Anderson & Sons, we fully support the 5-a-day scheme to encourage children and adults to eat a variety of five fruit and vegetables a day. There’s no excuse not to either, thanks to our daily fruit and veg delivery across Central Scotland from our base in Tranent. We’ll help you stay healthy.

The importance of fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables are critical to promoting good health as they contain essential vitamins, minerals and fibre to help protect your body from chronic diseases. Research shows that if you consume your five fruit and vegetables a day as part of a healthy diet rather than just a small amount, you’ll reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, strokes and certain cancers.

It is our aim to help promote the Fruit Initiative as much as possible.
