Thank you to Guernsey Gaming for Good who raised a grand total of £1,692.54 at their 24 hour gaming charity marathon. The successful event included mini tournaments and a baked bean challenge which involved eating many baked beans! Over 200 followers from all over the World followed the GG4G Marathon which raised £3,385.07 to be shared between Guernsey Disability Swimming and Bowel Cancer Guernsey.

A fantastic amount, thank you to GG4G

In light of the recent news, we’ve decided to postpone our official annual Loud Tie Day which was due to take place on Friday.

However, in the #GuernseyTogether spirit we thought there are certain aspects of the day that could help keep you, your children, loved ones and colleagues entertained during this time.

So, if you’re working from home and still wish to don a loud tie, go ahead it’s a great way to brighten up the day and if you’ve got any Zoom meetings why not use our loud tie Zoom background? (found here)

And for the children, here’s an activity that might keep them amused long enough for you to grab a cuppa by getting them to design a tie to be used in our 2022 campaign (found here). Simply:

1. Draw your own tie or print off the template
2. Get the children to design their tie
3. Take a photo, upload the photo to Facebook with the hashtag #BeTieRiffic and send them as a message to our Facebook page

#LoudTie2021

Following today’s announcement, we have postponed our Loud Tie Day Lunch which was due to take place on Sunday 24 January 2021 at Les Cotils.

We will be in touch with a new date.

Stay safe.

Dress up or down for loud tie day 2021!

If your office does dress down Friday, why not turn it on it’s head and dress up for Loud Tie Day?

And don’t worry, if you’re working from home why not use our Loud Tie Day background (for Zoom or Teams) for any meetings that day.

Donations can be made online to giving.gg Loud Tie Day 2021 or by cheque made payable to ‘Bowel Cancer Guernsey’ and sent to Le Pignon, Longs Camps, St Sampsons, GY2 4UQ. 

Thank you to Capelles Church, State of Harmony Choir and the Guest Soloists for a wonderful concert which raised £537.91 for Bowel Cancer Guernsey.

Thanks to all who attended and supported so generously.
