CI Coop raise £10,000 for Les Amis!

Les Amis would like to thank the Channel Islands Coop for raising nearly £10,000 for Les Amis through the sale of limited edition bags for life and ice cream. The fundraising took place during our 50th anniversary year, helping to support and empower Islanders with learning disabilities. To date, £9,354.94 has been raised.

As part of the partnership, the Coop teamed up with Jersey Dairy to launch a public competition to choose a new ice cream flavour. The winning entry, 'Peachy Beachy', was released as a limited edition in June.

Shaun Findlay, Managing Director of Les Amis, said: 'We're incredibly grateful to the Channel Islands Coop for their creative and generous fundraising efforts. Through the sale of bags for life and a limited-edition ice cream, they're helped raise vital funds that support our work with around 100 adult Islanders at any one time. Whether through residential homes, domiciliary care or respite services, this support helps us continue to meet a wide range of complex and evolving needs in our community. Their fundraising efforts have not only raised essential funds but also helped raise awareness of our mission in a fun and engaging way.'

Mark Cox, CEO at CI Coop, commented 'We're proud to partner with Les Amis during their milestone 50th anniversary year. At the Channel Islands Coop, we believe in supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference in our community, and Les Amis does just that, empowering Islanders with learning disabilities to live full and independent lives. I hope that our limited-edition ice cream and bags for life not only raised vital funds but also helped shine a light on the incredible work Les Amis does every day. It's a partnership rooted in shared values and we're honoured to play a part in their journey.'
