Selected as First Central’s charity partner over the past two years, the Smile for Georgie Foundation has received more than £5,700 through the insurer’s fundraising project.

‘We’re proud to have sponsored the Smile for Georgie Foundation for the past two years as the foundation does fantastic work for the local community through acts of kindness,’ said John Davison, chief information officer at First Central.

The support from First Central includes both financial gifts as well as donations of time and resources. With this support, so far this year Smile for Georgie has helped the Sunflower Trust with residential weeks in Guernsey and Herm, donated £500 to the Men’s Shed for their defibrillator and helped restore the playground at Bright Beginnings which was vandalised, among providing support on other projects.

‘We very much appreciate the donation received from First Central and the fundraising efforts of their staff in their own time,’ said Peter Le Cheminant, a trustee of the Smile for Georgie Foundation.

‘First Central takes its social responsibility seriously and this has allowed us to support a wide range of community projects.’

First Central has selected Autism Guernsey as its charity partner for the next two years, to assist with supporting people on the autism spectrum in Guernsey.
