Carey Olsen raise over £31,500 for CI charities

Tuesday 21 January 2014

Carey Olsen raised £31,565 in 2013 for a range of CI causes including Jersey Hospice Care, the Jersey Alzheimer's Association and Channel Islands Air Search.

The donations will be split equally between the charities. Over the course of the year, the firm's charities committees, consisting of 21 employees, organised a range of fundraising activities including cake sales, raffles, fancy dress competitions, a sponsored fast, dress down days, a sleepover at the Mirus Battery, an afternoon tea event and Christmas wrapping service. Sports sponsorships included a member of staff who ran the London marathon on behalf of the charities. Partners at the firm boosted the total raised by making a significant donation.

Jersey charities committee chair, Sue Cooper, said: “We are thrilled to have raised almost £16,000 this year. Both the charities committee and the wider staff have put in considerable time and effort to organise and support the fundraising events and we are immensely grateful to them for all their hard work and generosity.”
