Corporate Social Responsibility
Le Gallais is committed to supporting worthy causes and initiatives that enhance island life and the wider environment, here are few causes we are passionate about.
The Shelter Trust
The Shelter Trust was established over 30 years ago and is now the largest provider of accommodation and support services for the homeless community in Jersey. Nobody sets out to be or to remain homeless. The main aim of the Trust is to accommodate homeless people for as short a time as is practically possible before their return to mainstream accommodation and living.
Le Gallais is proud to support The Shelter Trust. For every property we sell or let, we donate £150.00 to The Shelter Trust, since this initiative began in 2019 we have donated in the region of £50,000.
Durrell Tortoise Takeover
We heard about the Tortoise Takeover at the end of last year and were keen to be involved. We were lucky to win our first choice of amazing artists taking part, and Katherine Kadin didn't disappoint with her "Puffling" design highlighting the sadly deceasing number of puffins inhabiting our north coast.
National Love to Ride, Cycle to work Challenge
Le Gallais employees literally "got on their bikes" during June to support the local government challenge to highlight active travel. We entered the National 20-49 employee class and came in 1st place across the whole UK for the number of miles and frequency of trips on our daily commute. Cycling for us is now a habit!
As a business, if we can help to reduce the amount of traffic on the road, then this helps people who really do need to drive get to where they need to more efficiently. Fresh air, exercise and a predictable commuting time are just some of the other benefits.
Green Travel Policy
We have invested in encouraging all of our team to use active, low-carbon travel wherever possible. Staff can apply for 50% of the cost of an E-bike up to £1,000 to help them get on the road, we also have E-cars and E-bikes for all staff to hop on to glide to appointments in style whilst being kind to the environment.
