Brush with the law(yers) at Babbé

Tuesday 26 November 2019

11 members of the Babbé team have picked up their paint brushes in aid of the local Youth Commission.

The volunteers, who were led by Partners Nick Robison and Nick Donnithorne along with Practice Manager Chris Rolph, gave one of the HUB's counselling rooms a well-deserved refresh on Friday.

The offices in the Bordage are essential to the charity's everyday work, being used primarily for consultation and counselling.

Earlier this year, Babbé staff chose the Youth Commission as the beneficiary of funds raised through the Hel(l)vitia Challenge, and has since decided to continue supporting the organisation through further volunteering and fundraising.

"We had been planning this day for some time as we wanted to support a cause that we believe our organisation could make a meaningful impact to," said Mr Robison. "The Youth Commission have a very important role in addressing the issues that children and young people are faced with in Guernsey and we feel inspired by the the work they do and are so happy to have been able to help."

The HUB's services are available to anyone under the age of 18, providing a safe place where young people can speak to trained staff and volunteers about anything.

"Babbé's support is very welcome," added Charlie Cox from the Youth Commission. "We are always grateful to organisations who volunteer time and energy to support our work and we are looking forward to collaborating with Babbé on more exciting projects that will benefit the young people of Guernsey and Alderney."
