Free bus tickets on route 41 to make islanders 'smile for Georgie'
BUS-USERS will receive a free journey today [Friday 4 October] courtesy of the Smile for Georgie Foundation and CT Plus as part of World Smile Day.
Passengers on bus route 41 will find their £1 fee waived in favour of making their day a little brighter and will receive an alternative ticket, highlighting the charity's gesture.
'Kindness is a universal language and one that Georgie spoke fluently,' Georgie's mother and founder of the charity, Jenny Le Prevost, said.
'Anyone who knew her remembers the bright smile she had for everyone and we hope that we manage to spread those smiles across Guernsey today [Friday].
'Public transport is a positive way in which we can also be kind to our island, so enabling islanders to travel on the bus for free for the day is a small gesture and an act of kindness which Georgie would wholeheartedly support.'
CT Plus supported and organised the logistics of the gesture.
Kevin Jackman from the company said Smile for Georgie is a wonderful initiative spreading joy out of a tragic situation.
'We're thrilled to be involved and to have partnered with the charity to provide free transport on one of our busiest routes.
'We hope the kind offer provided a great start to the day for our regular commuters and put a spring in the step of all those who use route 41.'
The Smile for Georgie Foundation was officially registered last year with the purpose of making a difference and bringing smiles to the people of Guernsey through small acts of kindness.
It was set up by the Le Prevost family in memory of their daughter Georgie who died in a car crash in 2017.
