The Sure Community Foundation donated more than £25,000 between more than forty Guernsey charities to help them deliver vital services to thousands of people during 2024.
Sure colleagues nominated the three main charities they wanted to give focused support to.
That meant the Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation, Headway Guernsey, and Safer each received more than £2,500.
Jo Priaulx, co-founder of the PPBF, said they used the donation to support families of premature babies and provided six Mi-Fi devices to ensure vital connectivity.
“We’re so grateful for the support from the Sure Foundation, including portable Mi-Fi devices that help families stay connected while in the UK.
“For parents, being able to FaceTime home or work remotely is a lifeline — especially during hospital stays. While our flats have Wi-Fi, much of their time is spent on the wards, so this kind of practical help makes a real difference.”
Headway used the money to help continue to provide care, and a place to talk for brain injury survivors and their families.
Safer was able to purchase much needed tools and equipment for their refuge, to support individuals affected by domestic abuse.
Other recipients included Relate Guernsey, Guernsey Cheshire Home, The Rock Community Church, the Guernsey Amalgamated Boxing Club, and the GSPCA.
Lucienne De La Mare, Chair of the Sure Community Foundation, highlighted the positive impact on the community that each charity has, and celebrated the generosity of islanders.
“Charity is at the heart of our island. We’re proud to help connect individuals and their families with the support they need, and we’re grateful to our valued Sure Community Foundation members and colleagues for their donations, generosity, and hard work.”
The Sure Community Foundation, a registered charity since 2012, raises money through employee donations, fundraising activities and business funding.
