Giving BackThe Sure Community Foundation in Jersey has made more than £25,000 in donations since its inception in 2017. During these unprecedented times the Sure Community Foundation has committed to supporting even more local charities and is working hard to help those more in need while the global Coronavirus pandemic continues to cause uncertainty in our community.

We recognise that many charities and local community groups rely solely on donations and unpaid volunteers so we try and support as many of them as we can.

Our assistance sometimes comes in the form of a sponsorship deal, a one-off donation or assisting with specific telecommunications needs.

Prosperity DayAlthough, we are currently uncertain

whether Prosperity Day will be able to take

place this year, Sure is proud to be once

again supporting the event.

Prosperity 24/7, the company behind the

event, are using the day to support Philip’s

Footprints and the Animal Shelter.

The Philip’s Footprints charity helps to

support bereaved parents after the loss of

a baby or child, and they invest in projects

that make pregnancies safer, such as

antenatal training, equipment and

education.

The Animal Shelter works hard to help

prevent cruelty to animals, and to provide

much-needed help for sick, lost and

unwanted animals in Jersey. Find out

would like to support all the amazing work

he is doing so we have donated £500

towards educational packs and training

sessions for when the training resumes.

These are both worthy causes and the Sure Foundation has agreed to support them with a donation of £1,000
