About Darcey Machan

Profile picture

George and Darcey are jumping in to 30 different bays around Jersey to raise money for Hospice and The National Trust Jersey. Both charities are special to our family. 

Why are you raising money ? 

Darcey; “I want to share money so they (National Trust) can buy more nets for pond dipping and they (Hospice) can look after the people who are sick.”

George: “I love the frog walk and hopefully they can keep looking after it. And that they can buy new equipment for people in Hospice.”

How much would you like to raise? 
Darcey “£18.30 maybe”

George “£99 maybe even more.”

 

The National Trust Jersey pop on events that have shown and encouraged George and Darcey to explore our island, find treasures, and have taught us about sting ray eggs, moths, pond life, and much more. Jersey Hospice was the last place George saw Grandma and although he doesn’t remember it, was a calm and lovely place to take a tiny baby considering the circumstance, and is a treasured place for so many families. 

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:


National Trust for Jersey & Jersey Hospice Care

National Trust for Jersey

The National Trust for Jersey is an independent charitable organisation, which permanently protects and cares for over 1,754 vergées of land, 19,000 metres of footpath and 30 historic buildings for the benefit of the Island. Established in 1936, the Trust is totally self-funding; it currently costs £3,790 per day to run the organisation.

The Trust's main objective is to permanently preserve and safeguard places of historic interest and natural beauty for the benefit of the Island. This is mainly achieved through the acquisition of properties and land either though donations, bequests or purchases.
We would like to encourage every Islander that loves  and cares for our beautiful Island to become a member of the Trust. 

Jersey Hospice Care

Jersey Hospice Care is the island’s Hospice, offering specialist palliative care, free of charge, to all islanders with life-limiting illnesses, irrespective of cause or diagnosis.
Many people think that hospices are places of sadness focused on death and dying. In fact our focus is on living and living well right up to the end, making memories and spending time with your family.

Our care is about so much more than the specialist palliative treatment of a person’s physical symptoms. It’s a total philosophy of care, offering spiritual and emotional support that extends to family members and carers. For each person we are privileged to care for, we only get one chance at the end of life to get it right and that’s why we strive every day to go that extra mile for our patients and their families, to make extraordinary care our ‘ordinary’. Helping each person we care for, to get the best out of every day and to make each day count.
We couldn’t do this without the generosity of our local community and the support of our amazing volunteers.
In 2019 we launched our out-reach service for babies, children and young people with a life-limited condition. This included our Tots & Toys group for babies and children up to five years old. This service is in addition to our Emotional Support service for children and young people and their families, which we started in 2017.

About 30 Bays in 30 Days 2021 Jersey

Following the success of the last 5 years, the '30 Bays in 30 Days' swimming challenge which raises funds for both Jersey Hospice Care and The National Trust for Jersey will be launched again for July 2021. This year, we are hopeful we will be able to stage group opening and closing swims, more information will be provided in due course but we do encourage all those registered to start the challenge on 1st July and swim a minimum of 30 strokes, 30 times in bays local to them. Participants can pick their favourite bays or if they want an extra challenge, can attempt to swim in all 30 during the month of July. Participants may carry on swimming in August to complete as many swims or bays as they have challenged themselves to complete! 

All participants are encouraged to follow the Government’s guidance at all times for the duration of the Challenge and please only swim in the suggested Bays listed on our the website.
