South West Coat Walk in aid of GVS

19/3/2015

My Dad is hoping to raise funds for GVS by walking the South West Coast Path this coming April hopefully leaving Guernsey on the 13th and returning 5 to 6 weeks later. Of course, this is an enormous undertaking so any support / donations would be well deserved and appreciated.

TO DONATE- PLEASE MAKE CHEQUES PAYABLE TO “GVS” AND SEND TO
Jubilee Day Centre, Grandes Maisons Road, St Sampsons, GY2 4JH

OR THROUGH ONLINE BANKING DIRECT TO GVS
ACCOUNT NUMBER 74376985 SORT CODE 60 09 20

Dad says -

As an “older person” myself, I would like to help GVS by doing a sponsored walk the length of the South West Coast Path spanning four counties and over 600 miles! I am hoping to achieve this in about 30 days, walking a minimum of 20 miles every day.

I should be grateful for any donations / sponsorship you feel able to give for this worthy cause.

With grateful thanks

Summer Garden Party

8/7/2014

Our Garden Party was held in Claire and Paul Winter’s lovely garden in St Peters on a beautiful sunny afternoon at the end of May. We were delighted to welcome Mrs Lynda Walker, our Patron, as guest on honour. There were plenty of musical performances during the afternoon to keep the guests entertained whilst they enjoyed their homemade afternoon tea. For the children there was a Teddy Bears picnic, face painting, games and much more. The event which was kindly sponsored by Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management raised the magnificent sum of £3,500.
