JT gift-wraps free for Jersey Alzheimer’s Association

JT is bringing Christmas spirit to the High Street with a FREE in-store gift wrapping service. This is to raise money for the company’s chosen charity of the year –The Jersey Alzheimer’s Association.

In the lead up to Christmas, JT employees from across the company have volunteered to gift-wrap customers’ tech gifts free of charge.  In exchange for this they ask for a small donation to the Jersey Alzheimer’s Association. This is JT’s chosen charity for this year.

Tamara O’Brien JT’s Head of Customer Experience said “This is a great initiative. It was thought up by our staff to help raise more money for our chosen charity.  We’ve already raised £8000 this year. We really hope customers will take advantage of this.  People are giving up their own time to do the wrapping. We hope it’s a real success.”

Making Christmas Extra Special

Natasha Marriott, JT Marketing Assistant, said: “It’s great to volunteer to join our customer service team in King Street throughout the Christmas period. I really enjoy speaking with customers and helping them make their Christmas gift extra special. Even if my bows are a bit wonky at times”

The gift wrapping will take place near the entrance of the shop. Staff will be ready with wrapping paper and plenty of festive ribbon.

Mark Blamey, Manager of the Jersey Alzheimer’s Association, said: “We are all so busy at this time of year. Wrapping gifts can be a daunting task. I hope shoppers take up the opportunity to get their items gift-wrapped by JT. And, in turn, raise some money for the Jersey Alzheimer’s Association this Christmas.”

The Christmas gift wrapping runs every Thursday 5 -8 pm and every Saturday and Sunday 11 – 4 pm, up until the 22nd December.
