Island golfers will once again be teeing off at La Moye Golf Club on Friday 21 August to support Autism Jersey, sponsored by JT. This year, the event lunch and prize giving will be hosted across the La Moye Clubhouse and the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club in St Aubin to ensure strict compliance with COVID-19 measures, with the two venues being digitally linked using the latest audio-visual technology powered through JT’s full-fibre network.

Nick Winsor, Chairman of Autism Jersey, said: “I would like to thank JT and Delta Events for responding so quickly and working within the restrictions to make sure our two lunch venues will be linked via video screens. Thanks to their technology and expertise, all the players and supporters will be able to see and hear the prize giving and speeches, including from the Lieutenant Governor. We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected charities everywhere, but the funds raised will go directly towards developing a bespoke centre for supporting those on the autism spectrum and a permanent home for the charity that we are working with Andium Homes to deliver.”

Daragh McDermott, JT’s Managing Director, added: “Our partnership with Autism Jersey goes from strength to strength and we’re immensely proud to have this long-term connection with an organisation that does such vital work in our community. We want to continue to help the charity provide support to islanders so that they can lead lives that are fully included in our society. COVID-19 presented us with new challenges on holding this event, but we enjoy a challenge and I am really pleased we’ve all been able to work together to make sure it will run as smoothly as ever.”
