The Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, and his wife Lady Dalton recently visited the Les Amis respite homes to meet the residents and staff.
When the Lieutenant–Governor was appointed at the beginning of 2017 he and his wife accepted the charity’s invite to become the new patron’s of Les Amis.
With over 30 properties around the island, the award-winning charity has 84 residents currently living with the service and 140 service users in total.
Commenting on his visit Sir Stephen, said: “It was wonderful to spend a full morning visiting the different Les Amis respite homes. The charity provides such a worthwhile service that endeavours to make sure that both their residents and staff enjoy a good day every day. It was a pleasure to meet some of Les Amis’ residents and have a guided tour of their homes.”
Shaun Findlay, Les Amis Managing Director, said: “Our residents and staff were delighted to welcome Sir Stephen Dalton and Lady Dalton to their homes. We would like to thank our patron’s for taking the time to visit the houses. It is a memory our residents will cherish for many years to come.”
