Guernsey Electricity has donated essential household appliances to a local, not-for-profit nursery as part of its community fund initiative.
Founded in 2016, Bright Beginnings aims to provide vital relationship attachment and development support for children, their parents and care givers from conception to four years of age.
Guernsey Electricity's donation of a fridge-freezer, dishwasher. vacuum cleaner and kettle among other items will help the charity upgrade its nursery kitchen.
"The items donated have made a huge difference to the smooth running of the centre and the nursery," said Nursery and Pre-School Manager Karyn Le Marquand. "As numbers of families and children were increasing we really noticed that we needed more practical equipment and Guernsey Electricity's donation came at the perfect time. The fridge-freezer, dishwasher and microwaves are in use in the nursery and the other items are used in the children's centre."
Communications Advisor at Guernsey Electricity, Clare Packman said: "As a company we're committed to connecting with and supporting the local community, so we are pleased that the electrical appliances will be used by the nursery to aid its invaluable work with many local children and families."
The utility's community fund initiative was set up in 2015 and aims to support small projects that benefit parishioners in the Vale and St Sampson. Previous funding has gone towards Vale Primary School's outdoor learning space as well as upgrading the library at St & St Michael Catholic Primary School.
