For the third year running, a delegation from Guernsey headed to
Cape Town in early September to promote Guernsey as a leading
international finance centre and raise funds for sport for a very
special charity.
CoolPlay uses sport as the foundation through which to deliver
valuable life skills based on a specially crafted Social and
Emotional Learning Curriculum, developed by child psychologist,
Linda Bruce.
Each week of every school term, there are 254 CoolPlay sessions
taking place, split between after school sport-specific sessions
and in-school sessions during life orientation classes.
For the past three years, Guernsey Finance has sponsored an
annual gala dinner to raise funds for the charity, with more and
more Guernsey firms getting involved each year.
