Savills Jersey helps raise awareness of homelessness

Clients and charity supporters gathered for an art exhibition sponsored by Savills Jersey to help raise awareness of homelessness.

The event was hosted by Sanctuary Trust in partnership with Jaro Gallery and featured work by local and international artists.

The evening was held at Alexander House in St Brelade – a new build property currently on the market with Savills.

It brought together artists, clients and Sanctuary Trust supporters including organisations, donors and members of the community to raise awareness and highlight the vital work the charity does to tackle homelessness across the island.

Guests were treated to works from artists including Opake, Nicholas Romeril, Gillian Linden, Max Corbett, and Manuela Knaut. During the evening, Opake, who has worked with HRH Prince William on national homelessness advocacy, shared personal reflections on his lived experience of homelessness.

Sanctuary Trust also welcomed its patron, His Excellency Vice Admiral Sir Jerry Kyd KBE, Lieutenant Governor of Jersey.

Geri O'Brien, head of office at Savills Jersey, said: “The event was a wonderful opportunity to showcase inspiring art while raising awareness of the complex issues surrounding homelessness in Jersey. Alexander House proved a wonderful venue and we were only too happy to show our support.”
