January 2024: A new chapter begins...free fruit is back!

Free Fruit FB 1024px x 638 Jan 2024 1

Our free fruit initiative for children is back in January 2024.

Every day from Saturday 13th January 2024 to Saturday 24th February 2024 children, aged 12 and under, can take a magical journey into our food stores and grab a FREE Gala apple 🍎 banana 🍌 or orange 🟠 using an fairytale fruit card!

It's easy to get your hands on a fairytale fruit card, so children can collect their free fruit...

🍎 Parents and guardians can now add children aged 12 and under to their memberships. By adding children to your account means you'll receive things like free fruit cards and birthday treats for them.

🍌 If you have already added children to your membership, prior to 5th December and opted into family postal communications from us (you can check by signing into your account here) then we'll be sending you a card in the post on Thursday 11th January 2024. You should have it within a couple of days of it being sent.

For anyone who has added children since, we will be sending out further cards each week. Please note it can take up to 14 days for a card to be received.

🍊 If you've not yet added children to your account. you can do so by signing into your account here and selecting the 'add a child' option from the menu. Don't forget to update your family communication preference to include items sent to you by post.

All children need a fruitastic fairytale card to collect their fruit each day.

If you've not received a card through the post for your child, it could be because;

1. You have not added them to your membership - you can do this, for free, here. Don't forget to opt into family postal communications, otherwise we can't post anything to you.

2. You've added children to your membership but not opted into family postal communications. Simply sign into your account here, and select your preferences.

3. You've added children to your membership and opted into family postal communications but still not recieved anything - sometimes things can get lost in the post, or we may not have the correct details for you on your account. Please get in touch with our Membership Team on 01522 781 135 or at membership@lincolnshire.coop who will be happy to check things over and get a card posted to you.

  1. A fairytale fruit pass will be sent in the post to all those who have children registered to their accounts, and are opted into postal items under the family preference section.
  2. A card will be sent to each child registered and will have their name printed on it.
  3. On receipt of the card/s head to your nearest Lincolnshire Co-op food store 🧺
  4. Once inside pick out which fruit you'd like - choose from a loose Gala apple, banana or orange.
  5. Head to the till and hand over your fairytale fruit pass and piece of fruit to our colleagues 🕺 - we encourage children to do this themselves, to learn how shopping works.
  6. They'll scan your card along with the fruit, then it's yours! Make sure you keep your fruit card safe as you'll need it each time you claim your free fruit.
  7. You can then return for more tomorrow ⛵
