New website brings Guernsey’s volunteers and charities together
April 3rd, 2012 · Chris · No Comments
Volunteer.gg is a new website designed to introduce Guernsey’s army of ‘helping hands’ with an array of suitable charity events, or specific roles, all crying out for assistance.
The brainchild of Guernsey’s long serving charity champion, Sarah Bamford, Volunteer.gg provides an ‘introductory service’ for the Island’s voluntary sector, by creating a notice board for charity events and allowing potential volunteers to ‘pick & choose’ their preferences. Read more

Facebook rolling out timeline pages this month
March 2nd, 2012 · Ric · No Comments
If you log into Facebook you may be prompted to update your profile to the new timeline view. On 30 March all profiles will be upgraded so make sure you check your pages before then. Originally the timeline wasn’t available for business pages but that’s now changed meaning a lot of ‘welcome page’ and ‘like gates’ are about to break — lets hope you’ve not just been sold one by an agency. The new timeline is more visually stunning that the old profile pages making welcome pages less important than they once were. We’ve been updating our charity client’s Facebook pages, such as Volunteer.gg in preparation and you can see some examples below.

Have you herd? The Cow Parade is coming to Guernsey.

Things are just getting started — moo ore news to follow, once the website is ready. Meanwhile, don’t forget to like our Facebook page and keep up with the latest news.
The GCP logo, by the way, was created by the talented Catherine Plevin, from Guernsey’s College of FE. We reckon she’s done a fabmoolas job!

Recent charity projects from Betley Whitehorne
November 8th, 2011 · Chris · No Comments
We’re pleased to have been able to assist a number of local charities recently as part of our ongoing ‘BW in the Community’ programme.
The Guernsey Alzheimer’s Association, with whom BW already has a long standing relationship, has just circulated a Newsletter outlining events since the formation of the GAA last year. We were delighted to design it.
What all charities need more than almost anything, and that’s as true in Guernsey as it is anywhere else in the world, is volunteers. So what better than a website dedicated entirely to volunteer support? Volunteer.gg is a relaunched initiative from the original volunt-here.org, created by the late Gary Solway, where browsers will be able to view the cream of Guernsey’s charities, and their events, as well as, hopefully, deciding to help one or two in whatever way is most appropriate. Betley Whitehorne designed the identity and is working on the main website — the holding page reflects this ‘helping hands’ initiative perfectly!
