#### Ben & Jerry’s partners with TERN & launches fundraising ice cream

In the lead up the Refugee Week (19–26 June 2023), Ben & Jerry’s has announced its
latest partnership with [TERN](https://wearetern.org/) (The Entrepreneurial Refugee
Network), with proceeds helping to fund refugee-led start-up businesses.  In collaboration
with TERN, eight talented entrepreneurs with refugee backgrounds have co-created
a brand-new ice cream flavour: Sunny Honey Home, inspired by the tastes of their
home countries in Syria, Morocco and Afghanistan. The new tub was designed by Edwige
Seri, a TERN graduate and brand design specialist, inspired by the landscape of 
Afghanistan, the flowers from Syria and the patterns and diversity of Morocco.  
Proceeds from each sale of the flavour will help fund refugee led startup businesses.
The brand-new tub (the first ever Ben & Jerry’s tub to be co-created in this way)
features creamy lemon flavoured ice cream, honey caramel swirls and lemon flavour
cookies, and will be available from 19 June, exclusively from Co-Op stores across
the UK.
