In early September 2023, business leaders from Guernsey's
financial sector assembled in Cape Town to rekindle ties with South
African businesses and with sport for development programme
CoolPlay.
A team from Guernsey Finance, along with 20 delegates from the
island, were back in Cape Town to promote Guernsey's financial
services sector, and to raise further funds for CoolPlay after a
successful inaugural visit in 2022.
Let the children play
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. Since its inauguration in 2013 the CoolPlay programme
has become a trusted and valued partner of 19 low- and no-fee
schools within the Western Cape.
