Variety at Work in April 2019

At the request of Health Visitors and Social Workers there were ten requests for food and three requests for uniform, baby clothes and shoes. We also bought a set of bunk beds, a single bed, bedding and pillows for a family who were moving house. We paid for nine days holiday care and contributed to childcare fees. We also paid towards one school trip.

The Crew agreed to pay one month’s emergency rent for a family and make a £500 donation towards a new minibus for St Martins Primary School.

The totals for the month of April are 20 families with 57 children amounting to £3,512. 85.

Variety Golf Day 2019

Following last year’s most successful re introduction of our Annual Golf Day, I am pleased to advise you that with the support of our most generous sponsors, Hawk Lending Limited, we are holding this popular event at La Moye Golf Club on Friday 6th September.

As in previous years, teams will consist of four competitors and there will be a ‘Shotgun Start’ with a maximum of 22 teams.

The cost of each team will be £600. This will include welcome morning coffee with bacon rolls and a good traditional La Moye three course lunch. There will be, besides the main team prizes, nearest the pin and longest drive prizes and some fun challenges on the par 3’s. We will be holding our usual splendid raffle during the afternoon.

We do hope that you will enter a team and we look forward to a most enjoyable day and an even more beneficial one for the children in our Island.

Please contact the Variety Office on 01534 856937 or email admin@varietyjersey.org.je for your Team Entry Form.
