Le Gallais Support The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army has formally launched its new housing project to support families facing homelessness, as well as a community store to provide shopping with "dignity” for struggling islanders.
Le Gallais were an early supporter of the project providing funds to enable a team of professionals to be engaged to get the project off the ground.
The Salvation Army has now launched a housing initiative, called May Cottages, comprising a two-bedroom cottage, a one-bedroom home and a two-bedroom duplex located behind its main building in Minden Street.
The new accommodation is intended to provide supported housing to families who are, or are at risk of becoming, homeless.
May Cottages are anticipated to begin welcoming families from the start of 2025, the same year as Le Gallais will be celebrating two hundred years of the founding of the business.
The charity has completed construction of 'The Pantry Store', which will sell subsidised items to islanders identified as being in need of extra support.
Dr Karen Kyd, wife of Lieutenant-Governor Vice-Admiral Jerry Kyd, helped to formally open the new projects, the Firm was represented by Tim Le Gallais CEO and Robin Sappé COO.
