We remain dedicated to eliminating unnecessary single use plastics and work in partnership with Island Waste to participate in regular island clean-ups.
Our Initiatives
Last Straw Campaign
Plastic straws are one of many types of plastic polluting our earth and harming our wildlife. We are passionate about eradicating single use plastics. The campaign strives to educate the public about its effects on our health, our environment, and our oceans.
Les Bourgs Hospice
Les Bourgs Hospice was founded for the people of the Bailiwick in 1990 who recognised the need for a Hospice to provide the highest levels of compassionate and professional care to patients suffering from life-limiting illnesses, as well as their loved ones.
Rotary’s Shoebox Appeal
The Duke of Richmond participate in preparing and packing gift boxes for The Rotary Shoebox Appeal every year for children in need. The scheme has become a national project supported not only by Rotary Clubs but also by individuals, schools, companies and churches.
Keeping the Island Clean
It is important for us to keep our island clean and free of rubbish which has a detrimental impact on our environment, in partnership with Island Waste. Everyone at the hotel takes part in regular ‘clean-up's that allow us to improve on our recycling practices and minimise waste.
We have taken the initiative to start changing all our bin bags in the hotel to compostable bags, allowing us to better save the island from all the plastic that is being used.
Me to We
ME To WE is part of WE, a family of organisations making doing good, doable as well as empowering domestic and international change. We sell ME To WE chocolates in every hotel to help a social enterprise create socially conscious products and experiences.
