In September, a summer fayre was held raising £850 before staff participated in a Halloween mufti day with spooky activities raising a total of £820 in October for Home-Start Guernsey.
Barry McClay, Chief Operating Officer of Ipes, said: “We are delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile charity on the island. Home-Start do an amazing job in supporting families and we hope Ipes’ donation will enable them to continue their good work.”
Ayesha Camara, Senior Co-ordinator of the charity, received the cheque from Barry McClay at Ipes’ office in St Peter Port. She thanked Ipes and its staff for their “stellar fundraising effort”.
