Moore Stephens Channel Islands

This week we were delighted to support the Guille-Allès Public Library, Guernsey’s annual Carnegie Literary Lunch, which celebrates the UK's oldest and most prestigious children's book awards.

It was fantastic to hear about the thoughtful discussions and lively debates as students from primary and secondary schools explored the writing and illustration shortlists before casting their final votes, the winners being Wolf Siren for the writing award and Wiggly Words for the illustration award.

We're proud to support initiatives that inspire a love of reading and encourage young people to share their ideas.

Moore Stephens Channel Islands is proud to support Ballet d’Jèrri’s upcoming performances of Black Dog Noir and Whiteout, running from 12–14 June at the Jersey Opera House.

Inspired by the infamous spectral hound said to stalk the island’s north shores, Black Dog Noir is part shadowed fairytale, part surreal psychological thriller, drawing on folklore, island legends and the wild landscapes of the psyche.

It will be presented as a double-bill alongside Marco Goecke’s ‘Whiteout’, a comical, melancholic, uncomfortable, and joyful piece set to the music of Bob Dylan.

Tickets are limited and there is an optional dress code of black and white. Make sure you book your seats before it’s too late using the link below:

This week, we marked Earth Day with local litter picks across both Channel Islands. 🌍

Our Guernsey team picked up litter along parts of the Victor Hugo Trail in St Peter Port, whilst our Jersey team took part in a beach clean at St Aubin’s Bay.

A special mention to Marie Hards and her dog Phoebe for getting involved with an evening litter pick. 🐾

It was a great way to come together for Earth Day and do our bit to care for the places where we live and work.

Since launching our Social Ambition, we’ve also planted 1,249 trees in the Moore Forest with Treedom.

We’re proud to celebrate Guernsey’s rich cultural heritage through sponsoring the new Victor Hugo Trail.

The trail invites islanders and visitors to explore St Peter Port through the lens of Victor Hugo’s time in Guernsey, highlighting the shops, institutions and everyday locations that formed part of his life during his 15-year exile on the island.

We look forward to seeing the trail bring history to life for all to enjoy and learn more about Victor Hugo’s connection to our Island.
