Guernsey is unique, full of inspiring islanders who often will undertake selfless deeds to help and assist their fellow donkeys without any hesitation.

Most of us Guernsey folk are really quite stubborn – (hence the donkey within all of us), stubborn because we are all passionate about our island.

Numerous islanders work tirelessly within their own parish to retain many of the old traditions, character and way of life, which within this ever-growing technological age is not an easy task, whether it be keeping the summer shows alive, ensuring the parishes remain floral and well maintained, keeping our beaches clean and tidy, or forming a support group within their parish to help those less fortunate, or perhaps even helping to prevent crime within their neighbourhood.

There are unsung local champions going above and beyond every single week, purely because they are true stubborn Guernsey donkeys, and more than anything, they are going to extreme lengths to keep our unique island as beautiful and as safe as it possibly can be, making our little rock a very special place to live.

A7 Design is a team of like-minded creative individuals and as a team we strive to inspire and enthuse our clients, ultimately resulting in imaginative yet practical design solutions.

We have some degree of responsibility in shaping the character and the evolving aesthetics of the built form across the island. We are, after all, developing inspiring homes and spaces for clients, so as creatives, why shouldn’t we be working within an equally inspiring environment – which, thanks to certain islanders, we are.

If you know of any individuals or even groups of islanders who deserve recognition for their efforts in improving our community, A7 Design would simply ask you to take a little bit of time out to nominate those who you believe have made a significant difference within your parish.
