Longueville Manor announces JAYF as charity partner for 2024.

Publish date: 15 Mar 2024

Longueville Manor is one of Jersey’s premium hotels, but also prides itself on being a longstanding family business. They have a steadfast involvement in charitable giving and community initiatives.

The Jersey Association of Youth and Friendship, founded in 1961, is a charity which helps young people experiencing homelessness by providing safe, secure accommodation. They then work proactively with young people to help develop the skills they need to live independently.

The relationship between JAYF and Longueville Manor is a special one, with the Lewis family, who own Longueville Manor, supporting JAYF from the early 60s, and even helping with the purchase and refurbishment of the first hostel.

Longueville Manor is fundraising for JAYF this year through one of the things they’re best known for – their incredible cuisine. Longueville Manor has always been hailed as a fine dining mecca and is a top recommendation for local and visiting foodies. Longueville are encouraging customers who dine to add £1 to their bill as a charitable donation and continuing fundraising with a QR code on the menu to link to JAYF’s website, should diners wish to add on a little extra.

By teaming up with their guests and raising awareness for JAYF, Longueville hope to contribute to the thousands of pounds it costs to run the charity. Service Manager Emma Roberts said “Thank you Longueville Manor for choosing to support us this year. What we provide is so much more than housing and our services; it’s hope. Young people who come through our doors need a safe place to shelter, feel safe and heard, feel supported and that’s how they can look forward to a bright future. We’re grateful that Longueville is going to work with us on achieving those goals.”

Longueville Manor owners Malcolm and Patricia Lewis reiterated “It’s a privilege to be able to continue in our charitable commitments this year, and we’re delighted to help

raise awareness and funds for JAYF. The work they do is vital to the protection and well-being of young people across the island. Whether enjoying a holiday, short trip or delicious dining experience, we are sure guests will be happy to give a little something back.”
