On a bright Friday afternoon, 15 March 2024, members of the Virteffic team gathered at the Royal Yacht Hotel to attend the eagerly anticipated Hospice Spring Huddle. This event wasn’t just an occasion to enjoy a delightful champagne reception and a three-course lunch; it was a meaningful gathering aimed at raising funds for Jersey Hospice, a cause close to our hearts.
Virteffic’s sponsorship of a table for ten was a testament to our commitment to engaging with and supporting our local community. This event aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives and our ongoing efforts to be actively involved in social and environmental initiatives.
By participating, not only did we indulge in some retail therapy with offerings from local producers and a preloved collection, but we also contributed to an important cause through our purchases and lottery ticket participation. The event unfolded with a lovely champagne reception, followed by a sumptuous three-course lunch, and rounded off with coffees and teas. Amidst the elegance and warmth of the gathering, our team delighted in the unique shopping opportunities presented by local producers and took part in the event’s lottery, eagerly contributing to raise funds for the hospice’s invaluable services.
Our engagement in such events underscores Virteffic’s broader mission of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities. We believe that our sponsorships and donations are vital tools for empowering our team and the wider community, meeting our CSR and ESG targets, and fostering a sense of collective responsibility. Since our inception, we have actively participated in various social and environmental initiatives, continuously supporting areas that resonate with our team’s passion and align with our brand and core values.
The dress code for the day was black and white with a splash of purple, adding a vibrant touch to the occasion and symbolizing the spirit of unity and support for the hospice’s mission. Jersey Hospice, renowned for its holistic approach to care, offers invaluable support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses, ensuring they can live their remaining days with dignity and as pain-free as possible. This charity’s work is made possible through the generous support of the local community, including volunteering, donations, and participation in fundraising events.
With an annual operating cost of over £5 million, Jersey Hospice’s dedication to providing exceptional care is an inspiring reminder of the power of community support. Jersey Hospice holds a special place in our community, providing unparalleled care and support to those with life-limiting illnesses or nearing the end of their journey. Their holistic approach ensures that every individual receives personalized care, enabling them to live life to the fullest, pain-free, and with dignity. Virteffic is honoured to contribute to such a noble cause, reaffirming our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those around us.
As we continue our journey of corporate responsibility and community engagement, events like the Hospice Spring Huddle serve as poignant moments of reflection on the values we hold dear. Virteffic is proud to stand with Jersey Hospice and the broader community, united in our efforts to support, care, and make a difference where it truly matters.
Donate to the Hospice
It costs more than £5 million each year to maintain our services, yet they all remain free of charge to patients and families. We rely on fundraising by the community, local companies and trusts, and the income from our retail shops, to enable us to continue caring for patients living with life-limiting illnesses and to support their families and loved ones.
