Story

As you may have heard, the island of Jamaica has been severely impacted by Hurricane Melissa—the first Category 5 hurricane in the island's history. This devastating event has left thousands without homes, food, clean water, and basic necessities.

This disaster is personal for me, as my family originates from Jamaica, and several members have been directly affected in the town of Black River, the eye of the storm. Like many others, they sustained significant damage to their homes, including lost roofs and structural damage from fallen trees. Fortunately, no lives were lost, but some are still without basic utilities like electricity and water.

While I have made personal donations to support my family, the broader community urgently needs assistance. The impact would be much greater if we, as a company, came together to support the rebuilding effort.

I am pleased to share that the company has generously agreed to match all donations made by employees up to a maximum of £5,000.

Please consider contributing to this worthy cause as Jamaica begins the difficult process of rebuilding lives and their country.

Thank you for your generosity.
