GO: Giving Opportunities

The Lieutenant-Governor welcomed supporters, sponsors and staff to Government House to celebrate their success so far with the GO100 initiative. New Chair Will Pierce can be seen here with Rhys Jelley who runs their events and His excellency as patron of GO. Check out their website gocharity.gg for more information on how you can get involved. 

The charity works to give opportunities to a wide range of people, from those coming out of prison to people with autism and those who have lost confidence. Its popular shop in St Sampson’s helps to fund training that increases their chances of employment or ability to re-enter the workforce and make a positive contribution to island life.

The ‘GO100’ campaign – which is backed by the Guernsey Press – challenges 100 local businesses to raise £1,000 each through a range of creative fundraising activities, rather than direct donations, to reach a total of £100,000
