Le Masurier is one of Jersey’s oldest companies owned by the Clarke family. The family’s involvement in Jersey and within the community is respected and long-standing. In 2010 they were involved in two major community and environment initiatives:

Swimarathon 2011

March 2011

Le Masurier entered a team in the Jersey Swimarathon for the very first time in March 2011, which was the 40th consecutive event since its start in 1972 and to date the Swimarathon has raised almost three million pounds for charity, most of which has been spent in the Island.

Through our sponsorship and after completing 52 laps the team managed to raise over £700 for the chosen local charities. Moneys from the Swimarathon and other fund-raisers have been used for building an indoor swimming pool for the handicapped, a day care centre for children, a day car centre for the elderly, establishing a hospital radio service and supporting many other local and international charities including major donations to Channel Islands Air Search which was founded by the Lions Club of Guernsey.

Our thanks goes out to all those who kindly sponsored the team.

Clarke family donate Devil’s Hole headland to the National Trust

May 2010

Devil’s Hole re-opened to the public in May 2010 after 18 months of work to make-over the site. The project was made possible due to the donation of the Creux du Vis headland to the National Trust by the Clarke Family. The donation marked the start of the trust’s Coastline Campaign to safeguard the island’s coastline for future generations. The bequest was made in memory of former St Helier Constable Fred Clarke. Fred’s brothers John Clarke and Tony Clarke, together with Fred’s youngest daughter Emma were present at the unveiling of the refurbished site and officially opened it to the public.

Le Masurier step in to provide funding for Jersey Trees for Life

January 2010

Local charity Jersey Trees For Life was given a vital boost in funds by Le Masurier in January. The charity had suffered from a reduction in funding from the States of Jersey Planning and Environment Department Countryside Renewal Scheme. Le Masurier stepped in to provide the necessary funding for the planting of hedgerow whips in St Clement and helped the charity to reach their 7,000 tree target.
