On Saturday, March 14, 2026, we at Derby Group brightened the day of the individuals under the care of the Sonček Association with a small but heartfelt gesture. The Sonček Association is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities, striving for their full inclusion in society.
They took advantage of a beautiful March Saturday for an excursion through Slovenia’s picturesque regions, weaving unforgettable memories through companionship and new experiences. To make their journey even more energetic, we gifted them fresh fruit and our signature bananas. We firmly believe that having vitamins in their backpacks added the perfect finishing touch to their exploration, providing a healthy and refreshing boost along the way.
New shared experiences on the bowling lanes
Our cooperation and connection with the Sonček Association successfully continued into May, when we at Rastoder d.o.o. invited the association to a joint bowling event. The afternoon passed in a wonderfully competitive yet pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, where the final score was secondary to what truly mattered: laughter, mutual acquaintance, and the building of genuine, lasting friendships. Through such activities, our company gladly and proudly takes an active role in supporting and enriching the local environment in which we operate.
More than just fruit distribution: our commitment to society
This donation and these shared moments were by no means accidental; they represent a reflection of our broader vision. At Derby Group, we do not simply distribute fruit—we connect worlds. Our sustainability strategy is built upon the natural cycle that nourishes us: we follow the sun, care for the earth, and protect our waters.
Supporting local communities and humanitarian organizations stands as a core pillar of our operations, guided by the motto: “Healthy Lifestyle and Community Support.”
Every choice of Derby fruit is a choice for a better future. We are delighted and proud to have played a part in the story of the Sonček Association’s members, helping them create days filled with health, deep connection, and bright smiles.
“Our commitment to the future is not just a plan on paper, but real action on the ground. Connecting with the local community is what gives our work its true meaning.”
