Amalgamated Facilities Management (AFM) has launched a new initiative aimed at trying to find charity partners for 2016.
As the Channel Islands’ largest facilities management company, AFM, which celebrated its 50th year in the Channel Islands in 2014, has over 250 staff in Guernsey. It plans to draw on its employees’ professionalism, experience and manpower to support fundraising initiatives and also to deliver practical support such as cleaning, planned maintenance or repairs for small projects.
"As a long established business in the Channel Islands, AFM is committed to building meaningful and lasting relationships with local community groups,’ said Mark Edgar, AFM’s Managing Director.
"As Guernsey’s largest facilities management company we have a range of hard and soft services capabilities at our disposal, which we hope will be of benefit to local charities who need maintenance support or are thinking about project work in 2016. By opening it up and keeping the application process as simple as possible, we hope that we can encourage charities of all sizes and supporting different community groups to come forward."
Charities that are members of the Association of Guernsey Charities are invited to submit a 500 word application outlining why they believe AFM should partner them in 2016. The closing date for applications is on 20th December and the judging panel will be made up of members of staff from AFM Guernsey.
"Our staff are all really engaged and are looking forward to judging the entries and getting stuck in. Throughout the year, we will also be supporting our chosen charity partners by taking part in dress down days and through offering volunteer support for events. Hopefully we can help to raise some money for the charities as well as providing practical support," added Mr Edgar.
