Volunteering in the UK
Making a Big Splash for Charity
A team from the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices embarked on a swimathon to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Big Build campaign. The 16-member team triumphed in their ‘channel crossing’ challenge by taking it in turns to swim 21 miles - the equivalent of the English Channel, from Dover to Calais. To date the team has raised in excess of £2,000 for Marie Curie.
Team Goes Armed to Make a Difference
It was a beautiful sunny day in November when 14 people from Jones Lang LaSalle’s London office, armed with various gardening tools, kicked off Jones Lang LaSalle's 100 days volunteering initiative by helping out at St Christopher's Hospice, Sydenham. This volunteering project was particularly important as Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra opened the new Anniversary centre in December. St Christopher's had recently finished a ground floor development within the hospice and the garden had become a little overgrown. The team set to work to turnover the soil to the front garden, put down new soil and clear leaves from around the gardens and car park.
Team Volunteers their Gardening Talents
Lucinda Liss, Rosie Hillier, Paul Jaffe, Vivien Williams, Daniel Trappler, Vanessa Muscara and Natasha 
Bromham, all from LaSalle Investment Management, put on their wellies and headed out of London to Berkhamsted.
The team spent the morning gardening at the Hospice of St Francis to help achieve Jones Lang LaSalle's commitment to 100 days of volunteering. The enthusiastic volunteers were tasked by the hospice gardeners (all of whom are volunteers themselves) to dig a trench near the perimeter fence along the woodland trail so that they could plant hedging in there.
Ireland Raises Money for Children’s Sunshine Home in Dublin
JLL Ireland raised €20,000 for its charity in 2008, the children's Sunshine Home in Dublin. They did this through a number of events: in 2008 Christian Moore and a friend undertook a marathon, cycled part of the Tour de France and climbed Kilimanjaro. Individual staff members sponsored Christian and the company matched their contributions. JLL Ireland also entered a team in a 10K run sponsored by staff members.
