The Gonks on the Loose
How it works …..
First things first – make sure you are following Le Gallais & Luce on all or any of Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn ! This is where the magic will happen!
From Tuesday 3rd December, 9 Gonks will be released into town. Each day, one Gonk will pop up ready for you to find.
Each of the Gonks have been sponsored by one of our wonderful partners in this competition, who are Romerils, Jersey Skin, Seymour Hotels, Jersey Safaris, Bohemia, Gaming Hub, CHAOS, Pizzeria Famosa and Dandara. All of the Gonks have been named by their sponsor and also have been given an amazing prize to give to the lucky winner who finds them first.
And now for the details on how to play! Each day, at 12:00 p.m., we will release a clue on Instagram and Facebook which will give you a hint as to where in St. Helier you may find that day’s Gonk.
Once you have figured out the clue, you will need to make a dash to get to the Gonk before anyone else! If no one has made it to the Gonk within 30 minutes, we will post a second clue to try and help you guess their whereabouts. If the Gonk remains unfound, then the prize will be gifted to Brightly.
If you are the one who is quick enough to reach the Gonk first – that’s it – you’re the day’s winner! And what’s more, in the true happy Gonk style of spreading kindness, Le Gallais & Luce will also be donating £100.00 to Brightly each time a Gonk is found.
Your new Gonk will be yours to take home, but first you will need to bring them to our office at 6 Hill Street, St. Helier, where you will be able to collect your special prize from your Gonk’s sponsor and a Le Gallais & Luce goody bag!
We would love to have a photo of our proud winner and their Gonk at the location, which we can then share on our social platforms to let everyone know that the Gonk has been found and the competition for the day has been won!
Brightly
Since 2020 we have continued to support Brightly, predominantly by donating to their Christmas appeal, a very worthwhile cause helping to make Christmas special for children or young people living in residential care or young care leavers and their children in Jersey, together with ad hoc fundraising events such as our Easter Giving Tree.
Brightly is a small, independent charity that awards grants to children and young people aged between newborn to 25 years, who are under the Children’s Service. They support over 500 children and young people each year. Their aim is to help these youngsters to make an independent and fruitful life for themselves by providing financial support and material help.
They help with education and training, health and well-being, or independence. This could include anything from nursery placements for the children of care leavers, food vouchers in times of crisis, memberships for the zoo, and other attractions that allow quality family time. For care leavers, we will also help fund, over and above statutory allowances, the cost of college courses, work clothes, tools, medical fees, and items for when they move into their first home, which is very exciting, but a big and expensive step.
They do not support applications for goods or services that are included in grants or benefits from the Government of Jersey.
All money raised by Brightly either stays in Jersey for the benefit of island residents or can be applied in cases where local children and young people are cared for off-island.
