Staff at The International Stock Exchange support the Ivy Trust

Wednesday 31 January 2018

Staff at The International Stock Exchange (TISE) gave up their time and raised £2,700 during 2017 to support Guernsey charity, The Ivy Trust.

The Ivy Trust supports parents who have experienced the loss of a baby either during pregnancy or soon after birth. It was chosen by TISE staff as their charity of the year for 2017.

Jayne White, a trustee of The Ivy Trust, said: “We were delighted when TISE approached us a year ago about being their charity of choice in 2017. I’d like to thank the staff who have given up their time to help us in a variety of different ways and raise such a fantastic sum of money. The support we offer to parents includes financial grants and we work very closely with the Midwifery Service to maintain a dedicated room for bereaved parents on Loveridge Ward and assist in supplying them with equipment to ensure the most vulnerable babies have the best possible chance of survival". 

“In 2018 we will be extending our support to parents who have experienced earlier stage losses and miscarriage".

Fiona Le Poidevin, CEO of The International Stock Exchange, said: “I am really pleased that TISE has been able to work with The Ivy Trust. It has been very interesting for all of us to learn more about its important work to support those who suffer the loss of a baby. It has also been very rewarding to be able to make a difference by assisting with projects and raising money, especially when we can see first-hand how these new books are going to benefit parents and families.”
