Langham Hall is committed to giving back to the communities in which it operates. We champion our staff to be involved in a variety of activities to widen their life experiences and perspectives.
During the first half of 2024, our staff have undertaken a wide range of charity and fundraising activities, ranging from a team kickabout in support of Autism Jersey to taking on the Pretty Muddy obstacle course challenge in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Across our Global Offices
Guernsey
Over the first quarter of the year Guernsey have taken part in a variety of charity and fundraising initiatives to continue to support Guernsey Alzheimer’s Association. During early June, staff took part in “The Saffery Rotary Walk” a 39-mile route following the coastline of Guernsey. The initiative raised money for 21 local charities including Guernsey Alzheimer’s Association, Autism Guernsey, Guernsey Chest and Heart LBG.
A team of volunteers have also been contributing to the literacy programme for Bright Beginnings, a scheme dedicated to listening to children read once a week to help them develop their learning. The volunteering allows staff to take a break from a busy day to try something completely different, as well as give back to the community.
In the second quarter of the year, Guernsey selected their ‘charity of the year’: The Sunflower Project, a support service for children and young people who are experiencing bereavement. The People Committee started the fundraising efforts with a bake sale raining £133. They will continue to coordinate other initiatives to raise additional funds for the charity.
Jersey
During July some of the Jersey team participated in the James Keating Football Charity Tournament in support of Autism Jersey. The team performed exceptionally well, especially considering it was their first time playing together. They displayed remarkable teamwork and determination, making it all the way to the semi-finals!
We are proud to continue being a corporate partner for Dementia Jersey and are grateful to have been invited to attend their Government House afternoon tea event in June. We donated a Relish hamper to the raffle to support the event.
As an ongoing partner of Dementia Jersey, the team are continually exploring ways to support their important work. Recently, they had the pleasure of hosting members of the Dementia Jersey team at the office for an enlightening seminar on the daily operations of the charity. In a show of support the Jersey office donned their purple and raised £157 in donations.
London
In early June some volunteers from the London office took part in the Pretty Muddy 5k challenge in aid of Cancer Research UK. The team raised over £1500 and had great fun getting muddy for a good cause.
The office also made donations on behalf of the business and staff.
- Donations to The Girl’s Network whose mission is to inspire and empower girls from disadvantaged backgrounds
- Support for families fleeing conflict in Sudan
- Donations to the Neonatal Unit at St George’s Hospital, Tooting
- Donations to the Pretty Muddy Langham Hall Group
- Donations to the Mind Out for Pride Month
We also encourage our staff across all jurisdictions to take on their own challenges and initiatives.
- Ben Ramsey from London took part in the Brighton Marathon raising funds for Samual’s Promise
- Ashley Dunkley from London took part in the 8,000 steps a day challenge during the month of March, in aid of Tommy’s.
We look forward to all the different initiatives the teams have planned for the rest of 2024.
We are proud to stand together and extend a helping hand to those in need.
