In the community
At Sure we believe it is important to give something back to
support the local community. That's why we support so many
charities, events and activities across the islands.
Guernsey

Longport, Sure supports the Set Sail Trust, providing marine-based
activities and raising awareness of Guernsey’s nautical
history.

Christmas-time Tree of Joy and is responsible for the yearly
illumination of the tree.

1982, Young Enterprise is a national education charity founded in
the UK in 1963. The charity operates on a ‘learning by doing’
principle forging links between education and commerce with its
stated mission, “To inspire and equip young people to learn and
succeed through enterprise.”
