At the halfway point of its annual staff charity day, JT has already raised over £10,000 towards their goal of £20,000.  This will then be shared among its chosen charities for 2016.

JT’s annual charity day took place on Friday 17 June with Channel Island staff taking part in a raft of fundraising activities. This included cake sales, quizzes, raffles, a staff BBQ and retail store collections. To date, £5,000 has been raised across the Channel Island offices which has then been matched by JT to boost the annual fundraising target at the mid-point to £10,000.

JT’s Head of Marketing, Tamara O’Brien said: “Our staff always get behind our annual charity day. This year was no exception, it was a fun-filled day reinforcing our charity commitments with some fantastic team-focussed activities across all our offices. It was great to see our staff wholeheartedly get behind this with all sorts of fun and different events. They pitted their wits against each other in a staff quiz and danced in Salsa sessions. The result of their combined efforts is really encouraging and means we are already halfway towards our fundraising target. Even more events and fundraising opportunities are planned between now and the end of the year.”

JT’s chosen charities for 2016 are Friends of SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit) in Jersey . And in Guernsey, The Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation.
