Community THE CIPD SIGNS UP TO THE EMPLOYERS’ DISABILITY CHARTER The Guernsey branch of the CIPD has signed up to the Guernsey Employment Trust’s ‘Employers’ Disability Charter’. The CIPD Guernsey branch has over 220 members from a variety of businesses across the island and is committed to working with organisations to shape the future of people management in the Bailiwick. Alison Hawkins from the CIPD said, ‘As the major representative of HR practitioners on the island, the local CIPD branch felt it natural to demonstrate, as a body, our support of and commitment to the charter, and to encourage employers locally to engage in disability matters, particularly in light of proposed legislative change.’ The Charter is designed to help all businesses improve their work place practices, cultures and attitudes. It also helps to allay fears regarding the forthcoming disability discrimination legislation and any concerns around reasonable adjustments and associated perceived costs involved. It offers specific and realistic objectives that employers can be working towards. Nikki Ioannou-Droushiotis, the Chief Executive of GET, said ‘The Charter is aimed at employers on the island so having an organisation like the CIPD sign up is fantastic as they are not an employer in their own right, this is going the extra mile to help disabled and disadvantaged people in Guernsey.’ RELATE GUERNSEY TO GET BOOST FROM LLOYDS BANK FOUNDATION Relate Guernsey has benefitted from a two-year grant from the Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands which will support the charity’s core operating costs. This funding will be vital in enabling the relationship service to continue; helping with the administrative and running costs of the charity; and assisting with the training costs of the counsellors. This allows the service to be offered at a minimal charge. In addition, Relate Guernsey has seen a growing need for specialist services for young people who may be affected as a family member, as well as adults being referred from medical professionals for psychosexual therapy. Simon Wood, Relate Guernsey, said: ‘We are delighted to receive a grant from the Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands, which will be a great help and will boost our ability to provide support and assistance to those who are experiencing relationship problems of one kind or another. CHARITIES BENEFIT FROM CAREY OLSEN STAFF SWIM AT BELLE GREVE BAY Staff from Carey Olsen took part in a lunchtime swim at Belle Greve Bay to raise money for the law firm’s two nominated charities - the Guernsey Cardiac Action Group and the Guernsey Child Contact Centre LBG. The 18 partners and staff who took part in the swim helped raise a total of £588 for the charities. It was the second year in a row that Carey Olsen had held its ‘Big Chill Challenge’, which sees staff members take to the chilly waters provided their colleagues can raise the necessary funds to take them from a ‘volunteer’ to a ‘swimmer’. If they have been nominated but would rather spectate then they have to pay a buy-out. Carey Olsen Senior Associate Adrian Sarchet, who is chairman of the firm’s Guernsey charities committee and someone who took part in the swim earlier this month, said: ‘The swim was a great success last year so it was an easy decision to repeat it. We tried to make it a little more daunting for our swimmers this time around by doing it a few weeks earlier in the year but were blessed with even better weather. Perhaps next year we’ll have to hold the event in January! Carey Olsen’s Guernsey office has committed to support both charities through various fundraising events for a two-year period up to June 2019. LE MURIER VILLAGE PROJECT TO BENEFIT FROM SKIPTON SWIMARATHON The Skipton Swimarathon Committee has selected Le Murier School’s Village Project to be the main beneficiary of the 2018 event. Money raised from the Swimarathon will go towards the building of four log cabins, designed to help the students of the school learn independent living skills. Le Murier School devised The Village after identifying that some of their students were not fully prepared for life after school. It’s designed to simulate the real world, giving all students from the school and those in the community the opportunity to develop valuable life skills to prepare them for running their own home or to live within a supported living setting. Nick Guillemette, Chairman of the Skipton Swimarathon, said: ‘We were overwhelmed by the number of worthy applications but felt that The Village project was one that the whole community would really get behind to support.’ 126 <strong>En</strong> <strong>Voyage</strong> | Aurigny’s Magazine
GUERNSEY SPORTS COMMISSION BENEFITS FROM APPLEBY SPONSORSHIP The Guernsey Sports Commission has hosted a Tri Golf Festival open to children in Year 4 for the sixth year in a row. The Appleby sponsored event encouraged children, who had previously experienced the sport in schools PE programmes, to attend the festival to give golf another go. 23 children from eight different schools took up the free opportunity and a number of children have already taken the next step to playing in the community. Sponsoring this event forms part of Appleby’s wider community partnership to support golf development within Guernsey. Appleby Group Partner Alison MacKrill said, ‘We are proud to be involved with the Tri Golf Festival. Appleby have sponsored the L’Ancresse Open and the Ladies Pairs competition at La Grande Mare for a number of years. Having the opportunity to work with the Guernsey Sports Commission to support and encourage schoolchildren to try golf, have fun and hopefully take up the game is another key part of Appleby’s involvement with golf development in Guernsey.’ ‘REMEMBER AND SMILE’ PATOIS JEWELLERY IS INSPIRED BY GEORGIE Guernsey jeweller Martin & Martin has introduced a new range to its renowned Patois collection, inspired by a new local charity, the Smile for Georgie Foundation. The jewellery features a rose, which is the emblem of the foundation, and the legend ‘I faot s’en r’maette et sourire’, patois which translates into ‘Remember and Smile’. A commission from each item sold will be donated to the foundation. The charity was established in memory of Georgie Le Prevost, who died tragically in a road traffic accident last July, and aims to make a difference in the Guernsey community through carrying out small acts of kindness. Emma Pang of Martin & Martin said: ‘We were looking to partner with a local charity and we remember Georgie who was a customer. The concept is that people will want to buy the jewellery as a celebration of an important personal event in their lives. STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE LAUNCHED BY GUERNSEY PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL AND RAVEN RUSSIA LTD The Guernsey Photography Festival and Raven Russia Ltd have launched a photography competition for students aged 14 and above with total prize money of £1500 and the opportunity to exhibit at the next Guernsey Photography Festival in September 2018. ‘After the success of our international competition, which attracted over 300 entries from 50 different countries, we are thrilled to be able to launch our second student competition specially designed to attract emerging talents’, said Guernsey Photography Festival Director Jean-Christophe Godet. ‘The Festival’s education programme is really important to us and this competition is an opportunity to encourage and develop young artists locally and further afield.’ The competition is divided into three categories: • students in years 10 and 11 (Channel Islands only) • students in years 12 and 13 (Channel Islands only) • students in higher education (worldwide). There is no set theme and the competition is free of charge. Prizes for the two Channel Islands prizes are both £250 (in value), while the winner of the international category will win £1000 (cash prize). ‘We are incredibly grateful to Raven Russia Ltd for their continuous generosity in helping us to make this competition happen,’ said Jean-Christophe. Glynn Hirsch CEO of Raven Russia Ltd said: ‘We are delighted to be able to be part of this competition. The Guernsey Photography Festival is now an established event that has national and international recognition and this prize will help encourage young people on the island to get involved in it. We are proud to be a part of it.’ 127
