Ipes, the local provider of outsourced services, has held a number of events to raise money for a local charity.
On St Patrick’s Day last year the office held a “bake off” and a meat raffle, raising £725. In July, staff had a tennis themed mufti day and a table tennis tournament, raising £600. September followed with a summer fayre, raising £850, before staff participated in a Halloween mufti day with spooky activities raising a total of £820 in October.
Barry McClay, Chief Operating Officer of Ipes, said: “We are delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile charity on the island. Home-Start do an amazing job in supporting families and we hope Ipes’ donation will enable them to continue their good work.”
Ayesha Camara, Senior Co-ordinator of the charity, received the cheque from Barry McClay at Ipes’ office in St Peter Port. She thanked Ipes and its staff for their “stellar fundraising effort.”
Home-Start Guernsey is a locally based charity that provides a home visiting programme in which volunteers work with parents and families who have at least one child under five recognised as being “under stress.”
